A case of left atrial myxoma with systemic AL-amyloidosis is described. Localized myxomas have the peculiar property of giving rise to constitutional symptoms, indicating a systemic disease process. The coexistence of AL-amyloidosis and an atrial myxoma in the same patient makes it tempting to suggest that an immunological defect is involved in the development of both diseases.
本文描述了一例伴有系统性AL淀粉样变性的左心房黏液瘤病例。局限性黏液瘤具有引发全身症状的特殊性质,提示存在全身性疾病过程。同一患者同时存在AL淀粉样变性和心房黏液瘤,这使得人们不禁推测,免疫缺陷在这两种疾病的发生发展中都起到了作用。
