Diagnosis With Brief Discussion

Diagnosis
Amyloidosis
Radiologic Findings
Chest PA shows consolidation in the right lower lung field and right pleural effusion (Fig 1). Chest CT scan mediastinal setting images show consolidation with multifocal calcifications in the right middle and lower lobes, and the right pleural effusion ( Fig.2-5). CT-guided TTNB was performed. The specimen showed perivascular hyalinization with deposition of amorphous eosinophilic material, which showed positivity with Congo red stain. This lesion was confirmed as amyloidosis..
Brief Review
Amyloidosis is a systemic disease caused by extracellular accumulation of amyloid substances. It appears in the lung in 30%
