Localized amyloidosis of the nasopharynx.
A case of localized amyloidosis of the nasopharynx is presented. This is only the seventh case report of nasopharyngeal amyloidosis to the best of our knowledge. Though rare, this disease should be diagnosed early and properly treated with surgery. All patients of localized disease should be followed up for any evidence of systemic amyloidosis.
