[Pulmonary, nodular cavernous, calcifying form of amyloidosis].
We report a rare case of pulmonary nodular amyloidosis featuring all typical morphologic alterations associated with this disease; multiple amyloidomas, calcification and cavernous transformation were present. Definite diagnosis was established histologically with CT-guided biopsy. The different types of pulmonary amyloidosis and their radiological appearances are described and discussed.
