Abstract
This case illustrates the importance of medical and dental healthcare awareness of how amyloidosis may affect the oral mucosa. Careful, thorough examinations, and anamnesis in a stepwise manner, with communication between professions, are necessary to ensure an early diagnosis and avoid unnecessary suffering. In this case, the patient's medical history should have been taken into consideration when examining the oral cavity, as it might have been an indicator for the healthcare providers as to which tests were needed.
