AbstractTracheobronchial amyloidosis is the most common form of localized bronchopulmonary amyloidoses, although its diagnosis is rare in daily practice. We describe two new cases of localized tracheobronchial amyloidosis, one in the form of a single node and one diffuse. We discuss in particular the contribution of computed axial tomography, mainly for diagnosing the diffuse form, in which a finding of a thickened tracheobronchial wall and intraluminal nodes should lead to the suspicion of this entity. The treatment of choice in most cases is resection with an Nd-YAG laser.
