title: [Bilateral primary pulmonary amyloidoma. Diagnostic contribution of subcutaneous needle-biopsy and of the digoxinemia test].
abstract: A case of bilateral neoplastic pulmonary amyloidosis is presented and discussed. The diagnosis was based on the results of a lung biopsy; and laboratory methods of great utility in this pathology were used. Of particular importance are the indications which can be obtained through subcutaneous biopsies and the biochemical test for digoxinemia.
