An unusual intraoral form of amyloidosis, the nodular form, is discussed. Attention is directed to clinical, microscopic and immunohistochemical features. More specifically, the nodular form of this condition and the specific relationship in this patient to chronic hemodialysis and associated beta‐2‐microglobulin deposition is highlighted. An overview of other forms of amyloidosis is provided along with the chemical identity of each.
