Retroperitoneal amyloidosis as the presenting manifestation of Waldenstrom's macroglobulinaemia.
[waldenström macroglobulinemia]
Retroperitoneal
amyloidosis
has
been
described
in
a
few
case
reports
and
is
typically
a
secondary
manifestation
of
inflammation
or
malignancy
.
We
present
the
case
of
a
69
-
year
-old
man
who
presented
with
a
large
pleural
effusion
and
an
incidental
retroperitoneal
mass
in
the
CT
imaging
.
Further
investigation
confirmed
the
diagnosis
of
amyloid
amyloidosis
involving
the
retroperitoneum
as
well
as
a
concurrent
Waldenstrom
's
macroglobulinaemia
.
Chemotherapy
consistent
of
drugs
active
against
both
the
lymphoid
and
plasma
cell
components
of
the
disease
is
the
proposed
therapy
for
Waldenstrom
's
macroglobulinaemia
in
those
patients
amenable
to
receive
chemotherapy
and
can
make
a
difference
in
the
survival
.
