Abstract:

We report a patient with secondary systemic amyloidosis complicating arthropathic psoriasis. At autopsy amyloidosis was observed in the spleen, kidneys, liver, gastrointestinal tract, lung, heart, pancreas, adrenal glands, thyroid and gall-bladder in addition to the skin by histological, histochemical and ultrastructural studies. The amyloid deposits in these organs were of amyloid A protein type.
