  • Title: Pulmonary amyloidoma and hilar adenopathy. Rare manifestations of primary amyloidosis.
    Author: Desai RA, Mahajan VK, Benjamin S, Van Ordstrand HS, Cordasco EM.
    Journal: Chest; 1979 Aug; 76(2):170-3. PubMed ID: 456056.
    Abstract:
    Three cases of primary intrathoracic amyloidosis are reported. Two of these three patients initially had localized parenchymal pulmonary amyloid tumors (or pulmonary amyloidomas). The third patient developed bilateral enlargement of the hilar lymph nodes as a manifestation of primary amyloidosis. These rare manifestations of primary amyloidosis are illustrated, and their clinical signifiance is discussed. Amyloidoma should be considered in patients with unexplained pulmonary nodules or enlargement of hilar lymph nodes.
