A Case of Recurrent Localized Pulmonary Nodular Light Chain Amyloidosis Treated with Daratumumab plus CyBorD.

Introduction: Nodular pulmonary amyloidosis (NPA) is a localized form of light chain (AL) amyloidosis often found incidentally and typically has an indolent and benign disease course treated with resection or local excision. We present a patient with recurrent localized AL amyloidosis who required further treatment.

Case presentation: A 63-year-old female with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) was found to have pulmonary AL amyloid on wedge resection and later had recurrence. The patient did not have signs of clonal plasma cell proliferation or systemic AL amyloid. She was treated with daratumumab, cyclophosphamide, bortezomib, and dexamethasone. After initiation of treatment, the patient has had significant hematologic and radiographic response.

Conclusion: The patient had NPA recurrence with organ dysfunction without systemic disease. Because the presentation of recurrent pulmonary AL amyloidosis is rare, there is no published evidence on treatment. However, the patient has had hematologic and radiographic improvement after initiating treatment with a systemic protocol.
