Abstract EN
Tracheobronchial amyloidosis is a rare presentation and accounts for about 1% of benign tumors in this area.
The diagnosis of disease is delayed due to nonspecific pulmonary symptoms.
Therapeutic approaches are required to control progressive pulmonary symptoms for most of the patients.
Herein, we report a case of a 68-year-old man admitted with progressive dyspnea to our institution for further evaluation and management.
He was initially diagnosed with and underwent management for bronchial asthma for two years but had persistent symptoms despite optimal medical therapy.
Pulmonary computed tomography scan revealed severe endotracheal stenosis.
Bronchoscopy was performed and showed endotracheal mass obstructing 70% of the distal trachea and mimicking a neoplastic lesion.
The mass was successfully resected by mechanical resection, argon plasma coagulation (APC), and Nd-YAG laser during rigid bronchoscopy.
Biopsy materials showed deposits of amorphous material by hematoxylin and eosin staining and these deposits were selectively stained with Congo Red.
Although this is a rare clinical condition, this case indicated that carrying out a bronchoscopy in any patient complaining of atypical bronchial symptoms or with uncontrolled asthma is very important.
