CTICasesAlveolar septal pulmonary amyloidosis
Imaging findings
CT scans show progressive perilymphatic reticulation, worsening thickening of interlobular septa, and the development of numerous tiny calcified nodules throughout the parenchyma, along with cardiomegaly and right heart failure.
Key takeaways
Alveolar septal amyloidosis is a rare form of pulmonary amyloidosis characterized by diffuse interstitial infiltration, which frequently calcifies and is associated with systemic light chain elevation and cardiac involvement.
