  • Title: Pulmonary amyloidosis in Sjögren's syndrome: a rare diagnosis for nodular lung lesions.
    Author: Rodrigues K, Neves FS, Stoeterau KB, Werner Castro GR, Nobre LF, Zimmermann AF, Pereira IA.
    Journal: Int J Rheum Dis; 2009 Dec; 12(4):358-60. PubMed ID: 20374376.
    Abstract:
    Lung involvement in Sjögren's syndrome (SS) can affect trachea, bronchus, small airways, pleura and may cause interstitial lung injury. It may also be associated with malignancies, particularly non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, which is a well-recognized complication of this disease. Here we describe the occurrence of localized amyloidosis presenting as pulmonary nodules in a patient with newly diagnosed SS. We highlight this rare occurrence as a diagnostic possibility that should be considered in the evaluation of pulmonary involvement in this disease.
