Primary amyloidosis rarely affects the pleura. This case highlights pleural effusion as a potential manifestation, suggesting its inclusion in pulmonary amyloidosis classifications and amyloidosis in pleural effusion causes.

Area of Science:

  • Pulmonary Medicine
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Amyloidosis is a condition characterized by the abnormal deposition of amyloid proteins.
  • Respiratory tract involvement in amyloidosis is recognized, but pleural disease is exceptionally rare.

Observation:

  • This report details a rare case of primary amyloidosis presenting with pleural effusion.
  • Only two prior instances of pleural amyloidosis have been documented.

Findings:

  • The case demonstrates that primary amyloidosis can manifest with pleural effusion.
  • This suggests pleural involvement should be considered in the spectrum of pulmonary amyloidosis.

Implications:

  • The classification of pulmonary amyloidosis may need revision to include pleural involvement and effusion.
