Popis: Localised pulmonary amyloidosis is exceptional. Tracheobronchial symptoms are the most frequent. We report a case of a 68 year-old man complaining of cough and breathlessness. Bronchoscopy showed a submucosal infiltration with stenosis of left upper and lower bronchi. Multiples biopsy were performed and concluded to amyloidosis of AL type. Our objective is to describe the anatomopathologic aspects of localised pulmonary amyloidosis and to discuss its pathogeny.
