[Cough as the presenting feature of pulmonary AL amyloidosis: A case report]
Introduction:
Pulmonary lesions may be a presenting feature of AL amyloidosis.
Observation:
We report a 49-year-old male with AL amyloidosis secondary to a multiple myeloma with symptomatic interstitial pulmonary lesions and chronic cough as the presenting feature.
Conclusion:
Lung involvement is relatively frequent during AL amyloidosis but most of the time it remains asymptomatic. Interstitial pneumonia is the rarest condition of pulmonary amyloidosis. It is related to a large diffusion of the disease as demonstrated by the usual concurrent presence of cardiac lesions.
