Los autores presentan un caso de amiloidosis pleural manifestada clínicamente como derrame pleural exudativo, sin datos clínicos, radiográficos, endoscópicos ni eco-cardiográficos de amiloidosis cardiopulmonar significativa.

Se resalta la rareza de la afectación pleural y se discute la idea previamente establecida de que dicha afectación es siempre secundaria al depósito masivo cardíaco o paren-quimatoso pulmonar.

A patient with pleural amyloidosis is reported. The cli-nical presentation was a pleural exudate without clinical. radiological, endoscopic or echocardiographic data of significant cardiopulmonary amyloidosis.

The rarity of the pleural involvement is emphasized, and the established idea that it is always secondary to massive cardiac or lung parenchymal disease is discussed.
