Amylin amyloidosis, also known as islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) amyloidosis, is a condition characterized by the deposition of amyloid fibrils derived from amylin in the islets of Langerhans within the pancreas. This condition is particularly associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus, where the abnormal accumulation of these fibrils disrupts normal pancreatic function.
