Abstract

We present a 69-year-old woman with colorectal cancer and a left frontal lobe tumor that was diagnosed as a cerebral amyloidoma after surgical resection. Further postoperative systemic evaluation revealed another amyloidoma in her hip as well as Sjögren’s syndrome. Systemic amyloidosis was not present. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of cerebral amyloidoma presenting as one of the multiple localized amyloidomas accompanied by Sjögren’s syndrome. We also present a systematic review of 65 cerebral amyloidoma cases reported in the literature over the past 40 years and discuss patient characteristics and pathological and imaging findings associated with prognosis.
