title: Solitary amyloid nodule in the lung.
abstract: A rare case of solitary nodular amyloidosis of the lung is presented. As the nodule was clinically observed to enlarge, neoplastic disease was strongly suspected. Histologic study of the resected specimen, however, revealed an amyloid nodule. Three years postoperatively there has been no recurrence.
