[Primary pulmonary nodular amyloidosis and multiple emphysematous bullae in Sjögren syndrome].
The authors report on a very rare case of an isolated primary nodular pulmonary amyloidosis with multiple emphysematous bullae in Sjögren's syndrome. The circular foci present in both lungs in disseminated form were immunohistochemically speaking amyloid deposits of the AL-lambda type. There were no pointers to other organ manifestations or monoclonal immunoglobulins in the serum and/or urine.
