Abstract
Amyloidosis is usually a systemic disorder. A localised form can involve the breast and may mimic breast cancer. We report a case of primary amyloid deposit confirmed by immunohistochemistry, occurring in a patient with early breast cancer and review other cases of breast involvement with various types of amyloid.
