Primary diffuse pulmonary amyloidosis with monoclonal gammopathy
Abstract
A rare case of primary diffuse amyloidosis of the lung with an abnormal monoclonal protein is described. The diagnosis was confirmed by an open-lung biopsy. The different classifications of amyloidosis as well as the relationship between the immunoglobulins and the pathogenesis of amyloid disease is discussed.
