ABSTRACT

We report a case of multiple nodular amyloidosis accompanied by multiple emphysematous bullae. The patient was a 72-year-old nonsmoking woman who presented with chronic cough and had a history of pneumothorax. Chest computed tomography disclosed multiple nodules up to 1 cm in diameter, and multiple small emphysematous bullae predominantly distributed in the middle and lower lung fields. Left lung biopsy was performed under thoracoscopy. The nodules were histopathologically diagnosed as amyloidoma. The mechanism of the accompanying bullae formation was also considered.
