Patient with Renal AA Amyloidosis Following Pulmonary Squamous Cell Carcinoma: A Case Report and Literature Review

A review of the literature revealed secondary amyloidosis (AA) associated with lung cancer in only 14 cases. With respect to the histological subtype, 8 of the cases were squamous cell carcinoma (SCC).Herein, we describe a patient with pulmonary SCC-associated AA. The patient presented with severe nephrotic syndrome 3 years after the diagnosis of malignancy and had no history of chronic inflammatory diseases. Our reason for evaluating these cases is that they are rare in the literature, and most are SCC-associated AA.
