IntroductionPulmonary amyloidosis is an uncommon disease, characterized by extracellular deposition of fibrillary protein in the lungs. It appears in three forms: tracheobronchial, nodular pulmonary, and alveolar septal. There are few reports of long-term observation of primary pulmonary amyloidosis.Case presentationWe present the case of a 47-year-old man who presented with fever, dyspnea, cough and hemoptysis. Chest radiograph and computed tomography revealed multiple pulmonary nodules and masses. The patient underwent open lung biopsy, which diagnosed pulmonary amyloidosis.ConclusionPulmonary nodular amyloidosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of pulmonary nodules or masses.

“…Also, amyloidosis is a systemic disease caused by the accumulation of amyloid in the entire body. Nodular pulmonary amyloidosis (NPA) is extremely rare [3] with few reports on the association between MALT lymphoma and NPA [4–8]. Here, we report a rare case of MALT lymphoma with amyloid deposition.…”

Background A total of 75% of patients with Sjögren’s syndrome are complicated with pulmonary lesions, of which 12% are lymphoma and 6% are amyloid nodules; the coexistence of both is considered to be rare. Case presentation A 67-year-old female with Sjögren’s syndrome presented with multiple pulmonary nodules on chest computed tomography. Since a definitive diagnosis by transbronchial biopsy was not obtained, wedge resection of the nodules was performed. Pathologic diagnosis revealed eosinophilic deposition that stained positive with Congo red. In addition, lymphoepithelial lesions and lymphocytic infiltration were observed. Lymphocytes with monoclonal proliferation predominantly had κ chain. Based on these findings, the nodules were diagnosed as mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma with amyloid deposition. Conclusions The combination of these diseases is very rare, and this is the sixth resected case to the best of our knowledge.

The current case report presents a 59‐year‐old man with imaging studies of the thorax showing nodular lesions in the lungs bilaterally. Based on radiographic and CT images, preliminary diagnoses for possible granulomatosis (tuberculosis) or pulmonary metastatic dissemination of a neoplastic process were made. An ultrasound‐controlled transthoracic true‐cut needle biopsy of a subpleural lesion was performed. Special staining with Congo red and examination with a polarizing light microscope for detection of amyloid confirmed the diagnosis of ‘pulmonary nodular amyloidosis’ by visualizing green birefringence.
