title: [Nodular amyloidosis of the lungs associated with Sjögren's syndrome].
abstract: Pulmonary amyloidosis can develop together with both primary or secondary amyloidosis, isolated or associated with amyloidosis of other organs. In the study a case of a 59 year old female with multiple nodules and diffuse amyloid infiltration in pulmonary parenchyma associated with Sjörgen's syndrome is presented. Amyloid deposits were also found in the surgically removed parotid salivary gland, mostly in its blood vessel walls.
