Abstract

Pulmonary amyloidosis should be included in the differential diagnosis of calcified lung nodules, and more careful preparation for bleeding should be taken when performing bronchoscopy. While management does not require aggressive treatment, follow-up is necessary to monitor for multiple myeloma and malignant lymphoma.

Keywords: amyloidosis; calcification; pulmonary amyloidosis; pulmonary nodule; transbronchial lung biopsy.
