Isolated nodular pulmonary amyloidosis is an uncommon disease. We describe the presentation and diagnosis of a 68 year old Hispanic female as well as her clinical and striking radiographic progression over a four year period in the absence of treatment. Isolated nodular pulmonary amyloidosis lacks a definitive treatment and disease monitoring is performed with radiographic and functional parameters over time
