Article information

La amiloidosis nodular pulmonar localizada es una entidad poco frecuente. Presentamos el caso de un paciente con una masa y un nodulo en LSI de 8 y 3 cm, respectivamente, descubiertos de forma causal en una exploración radiológica, cuyo diagnóstico se hizo por toracotomía y biopsia pulmonar, por la sospecha de un proceso neoplásico.

Tras 2 años de seguimiento, el paciente sigue asintomático, con estabilización radiológica de las lesiones, sin hallazgos clínicos ni analíticos de amiloidosis sistémica o disproteinemia.

Palabras clave:
Amiloidosis nodular pulmonar
Amiloidosis pulmonar primaria

Localized nodular pulmonary amyloidosis is a very rare condition. We report the case of a man with an upper left lobe mass measuring 8 cm and a nodule measuring 3 cm at the same site. Both were detected by chance in radiologic images. Neoplasia was suspected and diagnosis was made by thoracotomy and lung biopsy.

After two years of follow-up, the patient remains asymptomatic and the radiologic images are stable, with no clinical or analytical evidence of systemic amyloidosis or dysproteinemia.
