“…[ 3 ] Tracheobronchial amyloidosis is the most common form of localized primary pulmonary amyloidosis. [ 4 ] Patients with tracheobronchial amyloidosis present with obstructive manifestations such as cough, dyspnea, and hemoptysis. The second pattern of pulmonary involvement is nodular parenchymal amyloidosis, which is characterized by circumscribed nodule with occasional interstitial and perivascular extension.…”

Amyloidosis is a collection of diseases in which different proteins are deposited as insoluble beta-pleated sheets, disrupting organ function. Distribution of these deposits may be diffuse or localized throughout the body, depending on the pathophysiology of the underlying amyloid type. Isolated deposition of amyloid proteins in lung is a very rare entity. They are frequently misdiagnosed as bronchogenic carcinoma, metastatic disease, or focal fungal infections. The treatment of solitary pulmonary amyloidosis is not well-defined. We have treated a 65-year-old female patient with external beam radiation and corticosteroids in palliative intent and she is leading a good quality of life after six months of follow up.

“…This is the most common form of primary pulmonary amyloidosis. (Sugihara et al, 2006) Isolated tracheal disease is very rare with less than 20 cases reported in the literature as of 2006. (Sharma & Katlic, 2006) It typically presents in the fifth and sixth decade of life and is slightly more common in females than males.…”
