Se presentan 3 casos de amiloidosis traqueobronquial, que iniciaron esta enfermedad con neumonitis postobstructiva, induciendo a la sospecha de un proceso neoplásico subyacente, y cuyo diagnóstico se obtuvo mediante la broncofibroscopia. Se comentan, así mismo, los hallazgos radiológicos y su utilidad, al igual que las opciones terapéuticas y la evolución en este proceso.

Palabras clave:
Amiloidosis traqueobronquial
