| Abstract |
| Abstract The condition of a 29-year-old woman
with primary Sjogren syndrome (SS) was complicated by amyloid light
chains- (AL-) type amyloidosis in the paranasal sinus. She had
not complained of respiratory symptoms, but her chest computed
tomography (CT) scan revealed bilateral multiple nodular shadows.
Lung biopsy specimens using video-associated thoracoscopy showed
amyloidoma in a subpleural nodular lesion and amyloid deposits
in the interstitial parenchymal walls and pulmonary vessels. Pulmonary
AL amyloidosis, presumably related to a chronic inflammatory lymphoproliferative
process in SS, has rarely been reported. |
