Diffuse Tracheo-bronchial Amyloidosis: a Rare Variant of a Protean Disease.
In 1958 one of us (C.B.P.) reviewed a series of cases in which amyloid deposits occurred exclusively in the lower respiratory tract. Most of the patients had diffuse infiltration of the trachea and bronchial passages with amyloid material deposited under an intact mucosa in a manner to cause intrinsic narrowing. The designation 'diffuse tracheo-bronchial amyloidosis' was suggested for this cond...

متن کاملPulmonary diffuse amyloidosis and ankylosing spondylitis. A rare association.
We report herein the association of primary pulmonary amyloidosis and ankylosing spondylitis. To our knowledge, this rare association has never been reported. This case reemphasizes that not all pulmonary complications that appear in the course of ankylosing spondylitis are related to the seronegative spondyloarthropathy. Primary pulmonary amyloidosis should be considered in patients with inter...
