Amiloidoz, dokularda amiloid adý verilen fibril yapýsýndaki proteinlerin ekstrasellüler birikimi ve organlarda iþlev bozukluðu ile seyreden hastalýktýr. Çeþitli tipleri olup, nodüler pulmoner amiloidoz, genellikle AL amiloidozun bir subtipi olarak görülür. Cerrahi eksizyon genellikle küratiftir ve prognoz mükemmeldir. Bu olgu, pulmoner amiloidozun nadiren görülmesi, ayýrýcý tanýda malignitelerin akýlda tutulmasý gerekliliðini vurgulamak amacýyla sunulmuþtur.

Amyloidosis is a disease that is characterized by an extracellular accumulation of fibril proteins called amyloid in tissues, and organ dysfunction. There are various types of amyloidosis, with nodular pulmonary amyloidosis usually considered a subtype of AL amyloidosis. Surgical excision is usually curative and the prognosis is excellent. This case is presented to emphasize the rare occurrence of pulmonary amyloidosis and the need to keep malignancies in mind in differential diagnosis
