{Abstract}: Amyloidosis is caused by abnormal protein deposition in various tissues, including the lungs. Pulmonary manifestations of amyloidosis may be categorized by areas of involvement, such as parenchymal, large airway and pleural involvement. We describe four distinct manifestations of amyloidosis involving the lung and review their clinical, radiological and pathological features and summarize the evidence for treatment in each of these presentations. We describe alveolar-septal amyloidosis, cystic amyloid lung disease, endobronchial amyloidosis and pleural amyloidosis.
