Amyloidosis: the lung architecture is well reserved with diffuse thickening of the alveolar
septa by deposition of amorphous eosinophilic material. 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
