Abstract

Herein we report a case of retroperitoneal amyloidoma in a 56-year-old man and to describe its imaging findings and pathologic features. Abdomen computed tomography showed multiple nodular masses with amorphous calcifications in the retroperitoneum. On histologic review, these masses were composed of extensive nodular deposition of irregularly shaped amorphous eosinophilic material that was strongly positive on Congo red staining and apple green birefringence under polarizing microscopy, which is diagnostic for amyloidosis.

56세 남자 환자의 후복막강 아밀로이드종 증례의 영상학적, 병리학적 소견을 기술하고자 한다. 증례에서, 복부 CT 상에서는 후복막강에 무정형의 석회화를 동반한 다수의 결절성 덩어리들로 나타났다. 조직학적으로는 이러한 덩어리들에 불규칙한 형태로 무정형의 호산구성 물질로 이루어진 광범위한 결절성 침착이 있었고 이들은 콩고레드염색에서 양성으로, 편광 현미경하에서 녹색의 이중 굴절로 나타나 아밀로이드증이 확진되었다.
