    Abstract:
    A 53-year-old male was admitted to the hospital because of progressive paralysis of inferior limb. Chest X-ray film and chest computed tomography (CT) on admission showed a small nodule with bullae in the right lower lung field. After CT-guided marking, partial lung resection including the nodule was performed. The cut surface of the resected specimen showed a tumor (10 mm in diameter) in a bullae measuring 14 mm in diameter. The tumor was diagnosed as amyloidosis. Fourty-six cases of primary localized pulmonary amyloidosis were reported in Japan. However, primary localized pulmonary amyloidosis with bullae is extremely rare, only 3 cases have been reported.
