Pulmonary light chain deposition disease

This medical illustration was designed for a monograph about the unusual deposition of light chains in the lungs, published in RadioGraphics. My art shares how the disease develops and findings which may be seen in scans.

This is the 11th case I’ve illustrated for the ‘Cases from the Cooky Jar’ series in RadioGraphics, and you can read the publication I helped co-author with some fantastic colleagues, Dr’s Sweet, Wheeler, and Marquis, here: https://doi.org/10.1148/rg.220123
