Abstract

Pulmonary localization of B-cell lymphoma associated with deposits of amyloid material is a rare finding in the thoracic disease spectrum. This report describes a rare case of nodular pulmonary amyloidosis in a 50-year-old patient. He underwent left upper lobectomy for mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma that originated from bronchial lymphoid tissue.
