RESUMEN
We experienced two cases of primary pulmonary amyloidosis with a localized consolidation. Case 1 is a 80-year-old man, who was found to have an abnormal chest nodular shadow with blurred margin at a medical examination. Chest computed tomography( CT) showed a localized consolidation on the periphery of the upper lobe of the right lung. A CT-guided biopsy was performed. Case 2 is a 66-year-old woman, who was found to have an abnormal chest opacity at a medical examination. Chest CT showed a localized gathering of small nodules in the right lower lobe. Gradual enlargement was noted by follow up CT and the accumulation of fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) was shown by PET/CT. In consideration of primary lung cancer or malignant lymphoma, right lower lobectomy was performed. Both cases were pathologically diagnosed as pulmonary amyloidosis. Since no findings of amyloid deposits in other organs or of existence of any blood disorders, a diagnosis of primary pulmonary amyloidosis was made.
