Description

This report deals with five observations of tracheobronchial, pleuropulmonary and mediastinal amyloidosis. Exploration was performed with plain radiographs, computed tomography in three cases, and magnetic resonance imaging in one case of tracheobronchial and interstitial amyloidosis. After their review of literature, the authors describe the main features of extracardiac thoracic amyloidosis observed with imaging and establish the contribution of the various techniques to the diagnosis and follow-up of the disease

Abstract (French)

Cinq observations d'amylose tracheo-bronchique, pleuro-pulmonaire et mediastinale sont rapportees. Elles ont ete explorees en radiologie conventionnelle, en tomodensitometrie pour trois d'entre elles et par resonance magnetique dans un cas d'amylose tracheo-bronchique et interstitielle. Apres une revue de la litterature, les auteurs degagent les principales caracteristiques de l'amylose thoracique extra-cardiaque observees en imagerie et soulignent l'apport des differentes techniques pour le diagnostic et la surveillance de l'affection
