Résumé
Amyloidosis is an uncommon multisystem disease that can affect many organs. However, interstitial lung involvement is very rare. A 68-year-old man presented with long-standing dyspnoea and productive cough. After extensive investigation, including two non-diagnostic bronchoscopies, a surgical lung biopsy demonstrated pulmonary amyloidosis. A bone marrow biopsy confirmed multiple myeloma. The patient was treated with chemotherapy and an autologous stem cell transplant.
