Primary nodular amyloidosis of the lung is an uncommon manifestation. The disease runs a benign course, but offers diagnostic problems due to non-specific radiological features entering the big field of the solitary nodule. We describe the case of a 60 year old man with multiple nodules on the left lung operated on diagnostic and therapeutic video-assisted thoracoscopy and discuss the possibilities, if any, of suspecting such a disease through radiologic characteristics along with findings from the patient's history, physical examination and laboratory tests.
