Abstract
Nodular pulmonary amyloidosis is a rare and localized manifestation of amyloid deposition in the lungs. This rare entity, though asymptomatic, is often misdiagnosed on imaging alone, due to its resemblance to metastatic pulmonary nodules. This report highlights the significance of histologic confirmation before treatment, as a preventive measure against overtreatment.
摘要
结节性肺淀粉样变性是淀粉样物质在肺内沉积的一种罕见的局限性表现。这种罕见的病症虽然无症状，但由于其在影像学上与转移性肺结节相似，常常仅通过影像学检查就被误诊。本报告强调了在治疗前进行组织学确诊的重要性，作为防止过度治疗的一项预防措施。
