ABSTRACT

Primary pulmonary amyloidosis is rare. Three patterns of involvement have been described tracheobronchial, nodular and diffuse parenchymal. The nodular parenchymal amyloid deposits are often multiple, much less common focal. We hereby present a case of a 70 year old patient, a former smoker, with coincidentally diagnosed solitary, pulmonary nodule, a rather common finding in CT. The list of differential diagnosis is long, as shown above, the amyloidosis is a quite uncommon cause, but it should be kept in mind.
