Solitary bronchial amyloid presenting with haemoptysis.

Pulmonary amyloidosis can be classified into tracheobronchial diffuse alveolar-septal and nodular parenchymal forms. Tracheobronchial amyloidosis can be further subdivided into diffuse and focal varieties. The latter is rare. We report a patient with a focal intrabronchial deposit of amyloid who presented with haemoptysis. The haemoptysis ceased following bronchoscopic removal of this deposit.
