Amyloidosis is caused by amyloid substance deposition in various organs and tissues. Herein, we report the case of a 70-year-old patient of systemic amyloidosis who presented with swelling of the tongue and submental region as the initial symptoms. Systemic amyloidosis was considered in the differential diagnosis based on the presence of other symptoms such as hypothyroidism, carpal tunnel syndrome, and heart failure. A biopsy specimen taken from the tongue and submucosal tissue revealed deposition of amyloid. The result of DFS staining for amyloid was positive. Furthermore, the serum level of the free Kappa immunoglobulin light chain was increased. Based on these findings, the patient was diagnosed as amyloidosis. He was followed up at the department of internal medicine.
