| description | Introduction: The amyloidosis is a benign deposit disease and may be systemic or localized. It's uncommon when localized in the head and neck. Objective: To present the case of a patient with localized nasopharyngeal amyloidosis and discuss its presentation. Case Report: Male, white, 46-year-old patient with rhinorrhea, aural plenitude and recurrent epistaxis whose amyloidosis diagnosis was carried out through nasal lesion biopsy. The clinical and radiological findings, as well as the primary disease management are discussed. Final Comments: In the absence of a systemic disease, the nasal amyloidosis must be treated in a conservative manner. |
