Pleural amyloidosis has been reported rarely, and the diagnosis of this disease by Cope needle biopsy has, to our knowledge, been reported only once previously. We report two patients in whom the diagnosis of pleural amyloidosis was made by biopsy specimens obtained in the examination of large, unilateral pleural effusions. In one patient, the diagnosis was made by Cope needle biopsy. The clinical and diagnostic significance of these cases are discussed.
胸膜淀粉样变性报道很少，据我们所知，此前仅有一次通过科普针活检诊断此病的报道。我们报告两例通过对大量单侧胸腔积液检查获取的活检标本诊断为胸膜淀粉样变性的患者。其中一例患者通过科普针活检确诊。对这些病例的临床及诊断意义进行了讨论。
