Abstract：
Amyloid deposition in the thyroid gland is a common presentation, yet amyloid goiter remains relatively rare. Proper differentiation of this condition from other goiter types and malignancies is essential. Although amyloid extensively invades the thyroid gland, patients are usually euthyroid, and many different presentations may occur. We report a case of a 42-year-old male patient who was diagnosed with secondary amyloidosis due to Behcet\'s disease. He presented with clinical manifestations of hyperthyroidism and systemic amyloidosis complicated by chronic kidney disease, which is the first case of such an entity to be reported in Palestine.
摘要：
甲状腺中的淀粉样蛋白沉积是常见的表现，然而淀粉样甲状腺肿仍然相对罕见。这种情况与其他甲状腺肿类型和恶性肿瘤的正确区分是至关重要的。虽然淀粉样蛋白广泛侵入甲状腺，患者通常甲状腺功能正常，和许多不同的演示可能发生。我们报告了一例42岁的男性患者，该患者因Behcet病被诊断为继发性淀粉样变性。他的临床表现为甲状腺功能亢进和系统性淀粉样变性并发慢性肾脏病，这是巴勒斯坦报告的第一个这样一个实体的案例。
