Rare case of a localized radial nerve amyloid neuropathy.

We report the case of a 55-year-old woman with a 6-month history of progressive paresis of the right radial nerve. Perioperative imaging detected a spindle-shaped expansion of the radial nerve caused by an isolated local deposit of amyloid (amyloidoma). The deposit was resected in 2 phases and the resulting defect was bridged by a sural nerve autograft.
