Pleural Amyloidosis Presenting as Scattered Calcified Pleural Nodules: A Case Report
摘要
Amyloidosis is a metabolic disorder that can affect multiple organs. However, pleural amyloidosis is rare and can mimic benign and malignant entity. Here we report a case of a 67-year-old asymptomatic female presenting with several nodular opacities in bilateral lung fields detected by chest radiography. Computed tomography revealed multiple circumscribed nodules along bilateral pleura. Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery was performed and pleural amyloidosis was incidentally diagnosed by histopathological examination.
