Thoracic amyloidosis: high-resolution computed tomographic findings in 3 cases.
We report 3 cases of 3 types of thoracic amyloidosis (tracheobronchial amyloidosis, nodular parenchymal amyloidosis, and lymph node amyloidosis) with an emphasis on computed tomographic features. Thoracic amyloidosis is a rare disease, but we think it is important to know its different types and understand how it manifests itself to be able to recognize it.
