Abstract
Primary solitary amyloidoma of the spine is a disease characterized by loca lized deposits of amyloid. We describe and illustrate the radiologic appear ance of primary solitary amyloidoma of the spine on plain radiographs, CT s cans, and MR images. The imaging findings revealed features of a nonspecifi c soft-tissue mass with calcifications. Epidural extension of the amyloidom a caused spinal cord compression.
