Abstract

A 32 Year old woman presented with renal failure who has also unilateral hyperlucent lung and hypoplasic hilum at the same side on the chest x-ray. Renal biopsy, ventilation / perfusion scintigraphy and other radiologic studies were performed to establish diagnosis. Renal biopsy showed secondary amyloid nephropathy. Radiologic assessment confirmed the diagnosis of the Macleod's syndrome. This case showed that; Macleod's syndrome can lead amyloid nephropathy unless adequate antibiotheraphy or surgical therapy was performed.
