[Primary cervico-facial amylosis. Apropos of a case].
Diagnosis in a case of primary localized amylosis of the sinuses and cervical nodes was from the discovery of nasal obstruction with conductive hearing loss and cervical nodes. Biopsy confirmed the presence of amyloid deposits in the maxillary sinuses mucosa and the cervical nodes. This case illustrates the value of typing of the amylosis, rectal biopsy and investigation to detect a myeloma, thus providing confirmation of a primary localized amylosis. A literature review confirmed the rarity of this localization of amyloidosis.
