A 71-year-old woman with an unusual cause for pleural effusions
2011, ChestCitation Excerpt :Although amyloidosis is known to involve various organs (most commonly the kidneys), the respiratory system is less involved and usually is associated with systemic AL amyloidosis.2 Amyloid deposition in the lungs may be restricted to the respiratory tract (alveolar/tracheobronchial deposition or localized nodular amyloid) or may be widespread, involving many organs.3,4 An even rarer finding of amyloidosis is that associated with pleural effusion,5 as was diagnosed in the present patient.
Transdiaphragmatic Amyloidoma
2008, Annals of Thoracic SurgeryCitation Excerpt :Pulmonary amyloidosis is a common manifestation of primary amyloidosis. The amyloid deposits may be seen in tracheobronchial form or in diffusely interstitial or nodular patterns [5–7]. Solitary lesions, termed “localized nodular pulmonary amyloidosis” or “amyloidomas,” are often not associated with any other systemic amyloidoses [8].
