Radiographic manifestations of lymph node involvement in amyloidosis

Radiology. 1981 Jan;138(1):11-4. doi: 10.1148/radiology.138.1.7455070.

Abstract

The radiographic demonstration of lymph node involvement in amyloidosis is rare. Of 12 previously reported cases with lymph node enlargement, two also showed calcified nodes. This paper presents two new cases, one of which illustrates previously unreported findings. Recent advances that help to explain the pathogenesis of amyloidosis are summarized.
