Pulmonary diseases during the course of generalised amyloidosis are principally represented by tracheobronchial involvement and diffuse parenchymal localizations. ⋯ The authors' conclusion is that, meeting an unexplained pleural effusion even transudative during the course of a generalised amyloidosis, the thoracoscopy is the diagnosis key test as it allows moreover a pleural pleurodesis to be performed.
