Area of Science:

  • Pulmonary Medicine
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Amyloidosis is a rare disease characterized by the buildup of abnormal proteins (amyloid) in organs.
  • Diagnosis and treatment of amyloidosis can be challenging due to its varied presentation.

Observation:

  • Three patients with confirmed amyloidosis via histological examination were analyzed.
  • Two cases presented with amyloidosis localized to the lungs, while one case exhibited generalized amyloidosis.

Findings:

  • One patient with localized pulmonary amyloidosis underwent lobectomy.
  • Two patients received systemic treatment with prednisone and cytostatic agents, including melphalan and cyclophosphamide.

Implications:

  • This case series highlights diverse clinical presentations of amyloidosis.
