  • Title: Primary solitary amyloidoma of the lung: findings on CT and MRI.
    Author: Matsumoto K, Ueno M, Matsuo Y, Kudo S, Horita K, Sakao Y.
    Journal: Eur Radiol; 1997; 7(4):586-8. PubMed ID: 9204347.
    Abstract:
    Pulmonary amyloidoma is a rare disease which is usually found incidentally on chest radiographs in asymptomatic, elderly people. Amyloid nodules may be solitary or much more commonly multiple. There have been many reports of radiological findings of pulmonary amyloidosis; however, those have not been characteristic. We report the findings on CT and MRI of a proven primary pulmonary amyloidoma in an asymptomatic 76-year-old woman. The low intensity of the lesion on T2-weighted images may be useful in the differential diagnosis from bronchogenic carcinoma.
