title: [Multinodular pulmonary type AL amyloidosis. Report of a case and review of the literature].
abstract: A multinodular lung lesion was discovered in a healthy 56 year-old man on routine chest X-rays. Histology revealed multinodular amyloidosis which histochemically was found to correspond to the AL type. This type of amyloidosis raises the differential diagnosis ith a lung neoplasm. In our case, no cell dyscrasia was observed. The patient was treated by surgery as recommended in the literature.
