Localized Lymph Node Light Chain Amyloidosis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Immunoglobulin-derived light chain amyloidosis can occasionally be associated with localized disease. We present a patient with localized lymph node light chain amyloidosis without an underlying monoclonal protein or lymphoproliferative disorder and review the literature of lymph node amyloidosis discussing work-up and risk factors for systemic progression.

AL amyloidosis associated with immunoglobulin M (IgM) paraproteinemia is rare. We report 103 consecutive such patients evaluated at the National Amyloidosis Centre (London, United Kingdom) between 1988 and 2006. Renal, cardiac, and lymph node amyloid was present in 53%, 35%, and 21% of patients, respectively, at presentation and 2 or more organs were involved in 54%. Seventy-three percent had a...

n 1977, an asymptomatic 68-year-old woman underwent biopsy of a supraclavicular node that had been detected at the time she presented for breast biopsy. While the breast biopsy was benign, pathology from the lymph node revealed amyloid. For unclear reasons, no further evaluation or treatment was undertaken then. Two years later, a paratracheal node was noted during screening chest xray. Biopsy ...

A 75-year-old man with a history of dyspnea lasting for three years presented to our hospital. Chest computed tomography showed bilateral pulmonary nodules, some of which were calcified, in addition to mediastinal/hilar lymphadenopathy and bilateral pleural effusions. Endobronchial ultrasound-guided (EBUS) transbronchial needle aspiration (TBNA) of the subcarinal lymph nodes showed amorphous ac...

Amyloidosis is a disease related to abnormal protein folding and deposition of that abnormal protein between cells of the body in various tissues and organs, resulting in multiple clinical manifestations. We report a case of amyloidosis with atypical features, isolated to the mediastinum, in a 75-year-old male who presented with fatigue and shortness of breath. Amyloidosis that is isolated to t...
