Il existe deux formes d’amyloses à transthyrétine : la forme sauvage, la plus fréquente, « wild type » en anglais, représente environ 15 % des cardiopathies et la forme génétique, ou « mutée », qui est une maladie rare et se manifeste principalement par une neuropathie périphérique et une cardiopathie. Des avancées thérapeutiques majeures ont été réalisées dans les dernières années grâce à des molécules qui stabilisent la transthyrétine et/ou qui empêchent sa traduction en détruisant l’ARN messager. L’amylose immunoglobulinique (AL) est une maladie hématologique dont la gravité est due à la toxicité des chaînes légères d’immunoglobulines formant des dépôts amyloïdes toxiques pour les tissus, en particulier cardiaque et rénal. Les traitements de l’amylose immunoglobulinique sont de plus en plus efficaces, et ciblent le plasmocyte permettant une amélioration globale du pronostic, l’atteinte cardiaque étant l’atteinte la plus préoccupante. Les amyloses inflammatoires (AA) compliquent moins souvent les maladies inflammatoires chroniques en raison de l’efficacité des biothérapies anti-inflammatoires dans les rhumatismes inflammatoires, les maladies inflammatoires chroniques de l’intestin et les maladies auto-inflammatoires génétiques.

Major therapeutic advances have been made in recent years thanks to molecules that stabilize transthyretin and/or prevent its translation by destroying messenger RNA. Immunoglobulin amyloidosis (AL) is a hematological disease whose severity is due to the toxicity of immunoglobulin light chains forming amyloid deposits that are toxic to tissues, particularly the heart and kidneys. Treatments for immunoglobulin amyloidosis are increasingly effective, and target the plasma cell, leading to an overall improvement in the prognosis, with cardiac involvement being the most worrying condition. Inflammatory amyloidosis (AA) complicates chronic inflammatory diseases less often due to the effectiveness of anti-inflammatory biotherapies in inflammatory rheumatism, chronic inflammatory bowel diseases and genetic auto-inflammatory diseases.

This rare tumour represents 15-19% of appendicular tumours. Its incidence is rising. The positive diagnosis is based on morphological examination and mandatory identification of a low-grade component of glands comprising goblet cells stained by PAS and Alcian blue. The appendix must be entirely examined. Global tumour grade (low, intermediate, high) is based on the proportions of low-grade and high-grade components. This tumour's immunohistochemical profile is particular because of expression of CK20 and often CK7 as well as neuroendocrine markers. It is often an incidental finding on a surgical specimen, among individuals aged 50 or more years, presenting with a locally advanced stage with vascular and perineural invasion. Lymph node metastases are present in a third of cases. Non-specific mutations of ARID1A and genes of the Wnt pathway may be identified.
