Oral purpura as the first manifestation of primary systemic amyloidosis.

Robert Stuart McCormick1, Philip Sloan2, David Farr3, Marco Carrozzo4.   

Abstract

Oral blood blisters and purpura are rare features of primary systemic amyloidosis (amyloid light-chain (AL) amyloidosis). We report a case in which these unusual presentations led to a diagnosis of amyloidosis, which enabled effective treatment before organ failure.
