Abstract
A new case of cystic fibrosis complicated with secondary amyloidosis is reported. We reviewed ten cases described up to now in the literature, emphasizing the rarity of this association. The usefulness of serum trypsin concentration as an index of exocrine pancreatic function and the accuracy and simplicity of the abdominal fat biopsy in the histologic diagnosis of amyloidosis were evaluated.
