The amyloid deposits may be diffuse and uniform and consist of multiple interstitial nodules. The blood vessels, and occasionally pleura, may also contain amyloid deposits. Amyloid has apple-green birefringence when congo red stained section is polarized. On EM it has a characteristic fibrillar structure
