Abstract

Amyloidosis is a rare disease caused by extracellular deposition of an insoluble protein. We report a 74-year-old male with histologically proven laryngotracheobronchial amyloidosis. He presented with stridor, dyspnea and repeated pneumonia for many years. Thoracic computed tomography (CT) disclosed diffuse thickening and nodularity with calcified spots over the larynx and tracheobronchial trees. It was suggestive of localized pulmonary amyloidosis.
