lüll Amyloidosis: review and CT manifestations Georgiades CS; Neyman EG; Barish MA; Fishman EKRadiographics 2004[Mar]; 24 (2): 405-16Amyloidosis is a collection of disease entities that produce considerable morbidity and mortality and are increasing in prevalence. The imaging findings are problematically nonspecific and diverse. This lack of specificity is compounded by the fact that amyloidosis is strongly associated with and frequently coexists with many other chronic disease states that have their own imaging findings. Amyloidosis can involve any organ singly or in conjunction with other organs and can do so in the form of a focal, tumorlike lesion or an infiltrative process. In the proper clinical setting, that is, in a patient with chronic inflammatory disease and especially in a patient with multiple myeloma, amyloidosis should be considered as a possible cause of worsening or new symptoms or imaging findings. Occasionally, the radiologic findings may precede the clinical findings, thus providing the radiologist with the opportunity to contribute to the patient's care. However, to make a difference in patient care, the radiologist must be familiar with the diverse imaging findings of amyloidosis as well as the patient's clinical history, which could raise the suspicion of amyloidosis.|*Tomography, X-Ray Computed[MESH]|Aged[MESH]|Amyloidosis/classification/*diagnostic imaging/etiology/pathology[MESH]|Disease Progression[MESH]|Female[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Inflammation/complications[MESH]|Male[MESH]|Middle Aged[MESH]|Multiple Myeloma/diagnostic imaging/pathology[MESH]|Paraproteinemias/complications[MESH] |
