    Abstract:
    A patient, 37 years old in 1966, presented hemoptysis and an excavated lesion of left upper lobe; there were no acid-fast bacilli in the sputum, but he was considered as having tuberculosis. After one year of treatment, the lesion had progressed and was removed surgically; pathologic diagnosis was silicosis. During the following years, three excavated lesions developed in the controlateral lung. When seen in 1979, the patient had consolidation of the whole right upper lobe and an excavated mass of right lower lobe. Amyloidosis was suggested; the pathologic sections of 1967 were reviewed and confirmed amyloidosis.
