Abstract
Endobronchial amyloidosis consists of fibrillar proteins deposition along the airway walls, being a rare and potentially fatal condition. It is an uncommon localized form of amyloidosis with no universally accepted treatment. The authors perform a review of amyloidosis pathogenesis, clinical features of endobronchial amyloidosis, its diagnosis, and treatment options.Keywords
