Abstract
The authors report the case of a 68-year-old man complaining of haemoptysis and breathlessness. Bronchoscopy revealed a budding formation in tracheal bifurcation. Multiple biopsies were performed and concluded as to AL type amyloidosis. Tracheobronchial amyloidosis is an uncommon localised form of amyloidosis that can simulate lung cancer.
