Ultrasound‐controlled transthoracic true‐cut needle biopsy in pulmonary nodular amyloidosis
Abstract The current case report presents a 59‐year‐old man with imaging studies of the thorax showing nodular lesions in the lungs bilaterally. Based on radiographic and CT images, preliminary diagnoses for possible granulomatosis (tuberculosis) or pulmonary metastatic dissemination of a neoplastic...

| description | Abstract The current case report presents a 59‐year‐old man with imaging studies of the thorax showing nodular lesions in the lungs bilaterally. Based on radiographic and CT images, preliminary diagnoses for possible granulomatosis (tuberculosis) or pulmonary metastatic dissemination of a neoplastic process were made. An ultrasound‐controlled transthoracic true‐cut needle biopsy of a subpleural lesion was performed. Special staining with Congo red and examination with a polarizing light microscope for detection of amyloid confirmed the diagnosis of ‘pulmonary nodular amyloidosis’ by visualizing green birefringence. |
