Primary amyloidosis presenting as an isolated mediastinal mass: diagnosis by fine needle biopsy.

Hiller, N
RESUMO
Intrathoracic amyloidosis affecting the lungs or mediastinum is rare, and mediastinal lymphadenopathy in the absence of pulmonary involvement is even more rare. The case history is presented of a previously healthy man who developed nodular mediastinal amyloidosis without pulmonary involvement. Diagnosis was made by percutaneous fine needle biopsy.
