title: Nasopharyngeal amyloidosis: an unusual cause of unilateral hearing loss.
abstract: Amyloidosis is typically a systemic depositional disease, diagnosed on clinical symptoms and signs in conjunction with histopathology. When occurring on a localized basis in the head and neck, the lesion is most commonly observed in the larynx. Primary localized nasal amyloidosis however is an uncommon finding, with 25 reported cases in the literature to date. We present the case of a young woman presenting with primary localized nasal amyloidosis secondary to the curious symptoms of unilateral hearing loss.
