Abstract
Primary amyloidosis may present as a pseudotumoral mass. Often associated w ith myeloma or paraproteinemia, it may also be isolated, without preexistin g or associated disease. Isolated pseudotumoral bone involvement is rare an d especially in the spine. Differential diagnosis is very important, becaus e the prognosis of primary amyloidoma is excellent after surgical removal.
