Description
Summary:Light chain deposition disease (LCDD) is a very rare entity. Clinical manifestations of LCDD vary according to the organs involved. Data on pulmonary LCDD are scarce and limited to small series or case reports. This study aimed to describe the characteristics and outcome of diffuse pulmonary non-amyloid LCDD localized to the lungs. A multicenter retrospective cohort study was conducted. Clinical characteristics were collected, and chest CTs were centrally reviewed. The diagnosis of pulmonary non-amyloid LCDD was confirmed by immunohistochemistry. Thirty-one cases were identified (68% female), with a median age at diagnosis of 50 years (IQR 20). Baseline FEV1/FVC was
