The Coral Crunch- Amyloidoma

Abstract

Preface Amyloidoma is an exceptional, progressive disorder constituted by a plethora of conditions with characteristic accumulation of significant quantities of amyloid within soft tissues. Amyloidoma is additionally nomenclated as tumoural amyloidosis or nodular amyloid wherein insulin-derived amyloidoma is referred to as insulin ball. Amyloid nodules may be associated with systemic amyloidosis. Amyloid is a protein polymer configured with identical monomeric protein units. Pathological variety of amyloid is articulated from misfolded proteins. In excess > of twenty-three subtypes of protein can configure amyloid fibres in vivo. Extra-cellular or intra-cellular deposition of amyloid can modify normal organ function [1].
