AB  - Light chain deposition disease (LCDD) is a rare condition characterized by 
      extracellular light chain deposition in tissues. Patients commonly have an 
      underlying plasma cell dyscrasia, and produce excess levels of monoclonal light 
      chains. Renal involvement is the most common clinical manifestation. Rarely, 
      light chains are deposited in the lung. We present the pathologic and 
      radiographic findings of three patients with biopsy-proven pulmonary light chain 
      disease and a review of the literature.
