Localized nodular pulmonary and thoracic cage amyloidosis I. Strumfa * , A. Abolins, J. Gekis, K. Pavlovs, A. Vanags, B. Strumfs, G. Volanska, J. Gardovskis * Riga Stradins University, Dept. of Pathology, Latvia Objective: Localised amyloidosis represents a rare differential diagnosis of neoplasms. However, in some cases amyloid deposits are manifestation of tumour itself. To increase awareness about these uncommon but important differential diagnostic issues, we show here three well-characterised cases of thoracic cage or pulmonary localised nodular amyloidosis. Method: The cases were identified by systematic retrospective archive search, 2000-2011. Congo red stain, polarisation microscopy and immunohistochemical analysis was applied.
