The current case report presents a 59-year-old man with imaging studies of the thorax showing nodular lesions in the lungs bilaterally. Based on radiographic and CT images, preliminary diagnoses for possible granulomatosis (tuberculosis) or pulmonary metastatic dissemination of a neoplastic process were made. An ultrasound-controlled transthoracic true-cut needle biopsy of a subpleural lesion was performed. Special staining with Congo red and examination with a polarizing light microscope for detection of amyloid confirmed the diagnosis of 'pulmonary nodular amyloidosis' by visualizing green birefringence.

Introduction: The current article presents a clinical case of ultrasound controlled transthoracic tru-cut needle biopsy of a small metastatic lesion in the left lung, performed with contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS). The following case demonstrates a real-time interventional manipulation of a very small lesion, which was done under local anesthesia, with a minimal invasion to the patient.
Case Presentation: A 72-year-old woman is presented, hospitalized for a left-sided pleural effusion with bilateral, multiple nodulеs of different sizes in the lungs.
