title: Intrathoracic manifestations of amyloid disease.
abstract: Nine cases of intrathoracic amyloid disease have been reviewed. A brief summary of historical material is presented along with detailed descriptions of the more pertinent cases. Observations suggest that a classification of the radiographic manifestations is needed with stress on massive calcific lymph node enlargement and a pulmonary lesion characterized by aggregations of small nodules.
