In this report, we describe an original case of amyloidosis affecting the oral cavity of a 77-year-old male patient that was under chemotherapy and zoledronic acid treatment because of a previously diagnosed multiple myeloma. The patient demonstrated multiple asymptomatic nodules in the tongue with 3 weeks ’ duration that microscopically revealed a diffuse deposition of a homogeneous, eosinophilic material, which predominated around blood vessels and salivary gland acini.
