Objective: To analyze of the clinical, imaging, and pathological features of pulmonary light chain deposition disease(PLCDD) secondary to Sjögren's syndrome(SS), and to improve the understanding of the disease. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 23 PLCDD cases diagnosed by pathology in Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College from 2009 to 2023, a total of 11 cases of PLCDD secondary to SS(SS-PLCDD) were selected, the median age was 51 years old(range:36~74),10 female and 1 male, the clinical, imaging, and pathological features were summarized. Results: All 11 cases showed bilateral multiple pulmonary nodules on HRCT with 10 cases accompanied by cysts, 6 cases with vessels in the cystic wall or crossing the cysts. Microscopically, all 11 cases showed amorphous eosinophilic material with negative Congo red staining deposited in the lung, vascular involvement was common, with variable lymphocyte, plasma cell infiltration and multinucleated giant cell reaction, cysts formation was observed in 6 cases,1 case combined with pulmonary lymphoma. No extrapulmonary involvement in all 11 cases. Ten patients were treated with glucocorticoid and (or) immunosuppressants, 1 patient changed to bortezomib-dexamethasone chemotherapy after 1 year, with a mean follow-up of 50 months, 5 cases were stable on clinical and (or) HRCT findings, 2 cases showed remission on HRCT, 2 cases progressed on HRCT. Conclusions: SS-PLCDD affects predominantly middle-aged females with lesions confined to the lung; HRCT showed bilateral multiple nodules and thin-walled cysts. Pulmonary pathology presented as non-amyloid material with negative Congo red staining and interstitial changes associated with SS. The overall prognosis was good, but caution is advised regarding the underlying lymphoma. |
