Involvement of the lymph nodes is common in generalized disease, but there are no well-documented cases of their involvement as a sole feature of amyloidosis. We describe herein a patient with widespread lymph node amyloidosis as the sole clinical manifestation.A 41-year-old man was hospitalized in 1961 with swelling in both groins that had persisted for 2 years. Nodes as large as 15 cm X 6 cm were found in both inguinal regions. There were no other...References1. GLENNERTERRYISERSKY GWC: Amyloidosis: its nature and pathogenesis.
