Abstract
Amyloidosis is a group of heterogenous disorders characterized by extracellular deposition of amyloid
proteins. Amyloidosis as a cause of lymph node enlargement is rarely found. In its localized form, amyloid
deposits are most often encountered in the lung, larynx, skin, urinary bladder and tongue. Here we report
an unusual case of supraclavicular lymph node amyloidosis.
