Area of Science:

  • Pulmonology
  • Radiology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Respiratory amyloidosis is a rare condition with three primary forms: tracheobronchial, nodular parenchymal, and diffuse parenchymal.
  • Tracheobronchial amyloidosis specifically involves amyloid deposition in the submucosa of the trachea and proximal bronchi.

Observation:

  • This report presents a case of diffuse tracheobronchial amyloidosis.
  • Diagnostic imaging, including plain radiography and thorax computed tomography (CT), was utilized.

Findings:

  • The study details the characteristic plain radiography findings associated with diffuse tracheobronchial amyloidosis.
  • Thorax computed tomography (CT) findings are also presented, offering insights into the extent and pattern of amyloid deposition.
