Amyloidosis has been classified by Symmers (1956) into (1) generalized secondary amyloidosis; (2) generalized primary amyloidosis ; and (3) localized amyloidosis. Involvement of the respiratory tract by amyloid material in the generalized systemic form of the disorder is not as rare as is commonly supposed. In amyloidosis associated with a recognized predisposing disease the incidence is at lea...
متن کاملMultiple vanishing tumours simulating pulmonary neoplasms. A case report.
Vanishing fluid collection (or tumour) in an interlobar fissure associated with congestive cardiac failure is not common. Multiple vanishing tumours are most uncommon and can resemble other multiple opacities, e.g. metastases. The disappearance of these so-called tumours after treatment for cardiac failure provided proof of the diagnosis in the patient reported. This diagnosis is important to c...

The long list of conditions that lead to these shadows, and the fact that they share, to a great extent, the same signs and symptoms, show how difficult it may be to reach a definite diagnosis. Husfeldt and Ca...
متن کاملEndobronchial brachytherapy in the treatment of malignant lung tumours.
A prospective study was made to assess the short-term clinical and endoscopic response to high-dose-rate endobronchial brachytherapy (HDREB) in patients with malignant endobronchial tumours. From July 1995 to May 2000, 288 HDREB sessions were carried out on 81 patients. The mean patient age was 61.57 yrs (range 34-82); males were predominant (87.65%). Tumours were primary in 76 patients (93.82%...
