Immunoglobulin-related amyloidosis presenting as recurrent isolated lymph node involvement.
Up to 37% of cases of generalized primary and secondary amyloidosis demonstrate lymph node involvement. Lymph node involvement as the presenting feature of generalized amyloidosis is uncommon. Isolated lymph node amyloidosis (that is, with no extranodal amyloidosis) is exceedingly rare; review of the literature reveals only two reported cases. A case of recurrent isolated lymph node amyloidosis is presented, with review of the literature.
