Abstract

A case of localized tracheobronchial primary amyloidosis masquerading as "bronchial asthma" is presented. Computed tomography of the chest and fiberoptic bronchoscopy image are included. Tracheobronchial primary amyloidosis is a rare, but potentially curable cause of airway obstruction mimicking asthma.
