摘要：

BackgroundThe objectives of this study were to investigate the utility of endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA)/endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) for the diagnosis of amyloidosis coupled with the feasibility of mass spectrometry (MS) for amyloid subtyping.MethodsAll patients who had amyloid diagnosed by EBUS-TBNA/EUS-FNA at two tertiary care centers from 2011 to 2020 were retrieved along with the MS subtype, clinical findings, and outcomes.ResultsEight patients were included: seven underwent EBUS-TBNA of mediastinal lymph nodes, and one underwent EUS-FNA of a periportal lymph node. Ages ranged from 37 to 79 years (median, 69 years), with equal numbers of men and women. Presenting clinical history included one case each of follicular lymphoma, lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma, rheumatoid arthritis, possible sarcoid, cirrhosis, and chronic renal insufficiency, and one case each of suspected pulmonary and cardiac amyloidosis. All cases showed waxy, amorphous material on direct smears (n = 5) or ThinPrep slides (n = 3), which were confirmed as amyloid on Congo Red staining. Immunohistochemistry showed dominant lambda staining in two of three cases. MS was performed in all cases and identified five of the light-chain (AL) type, one of the heavy-chain/AL type, and two suggestive of AL amyloidosis. Bone marrow biopsy performed in seven patients demonstrated that three had monoclonal plasma cells and one had lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma. Two of four patients with systemic amyloidosis received chemotherapy and remained alive, whereas three with localized disease remained stable under observation.ConclusionsEBUS-TBNA/EUS-FNA is effective for amyloidosis diagnosis and provides adequate material for ancillary tests, including MS, which can identify the precursor amyloidogenic protein, leading to appropriate patient management. The utility of endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration and endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration for the diagnosis of amyloidosis, including when clinically unsuspected, and the feasibility of subsequent mass spectrometry for subtyping of the amyloidogenic protein were investigated. Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration/endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration was able to provide an early and accurate assessment of unexpected mass-like deposits of nodal amyloid with sufficient material to diagnose and classify the protein subtype.
