Abstract:
Amyloidosis is a rare systemic disease caused by extracellular accumulation of insolubel fibrillar material invarious tissues. The radiographic findings of amyloidosis involving the lymph nodes have not been previously reported in Korea, and we report a rare case of primary amyloidosis involving the mediastinal and hilar lymphnodes, with CT and radiographic appearances.
