description Amyloidosis is an uncommon multisystem disease that can affect many organs. However, interstitial lung involvement is very rare. A 68‐year‐old man presented with long‐standing dyspnoea and productive cough.

The patient was treated with chemotherapy and an autologous stem cell transplant.
