Tracheobronchial amyloidosis is a rare condition characterized by the deposition of amyloid proteins in the trachea and bronchi, leading to significant respiratory symptoms such as chronic mucoid, cough, dyspnea, and recurrent respiratory infections. We present the case of a 61-year-old individual who developed tracheobronchial amyloidosis, which poses a diagnostic challenge due to its clinical and radiological resemblance to other pulmonary disorders, including chronic bronchitis. Histologically, tracheobronchial amyloidosis is characterized by the presence of amyloid deposits confirmed by Congo red staining, which shows apple-green birefringence under polarized light.

Pulmonary amyloidosis is an extremely rare disease, often detected incidentally because of its asymptomatic nature and potential to result in fatal outcomes. In this study, we aimed to present the clinical and radiological features of patients diagnosed with pulmonary amyloidosis by biopsy. This descriptive study included 21 patients with pathologically diagnosed pulmonary amyloidosis.
