Key Clinical Message A 77‐year‐old man was referred to our hospital due to enlarging mediastinal/hilar lymphadenopathy with calcification. Endobronchial ultrasound‐guided transbronchial needle aspiration ( EBUS ‐ TBNA ) and bone marrow aspiration were performed. Subsequently, monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance ( MGUS ) associated with mediastinal amyloidosis was diagnosed. We hereby report a case in which EBUS ‐ TBNA led to a successful diagnosis of amyloidosis.
