چکیده
Amyloidomas of the head and neck region are uncommon and generally considered a benign localized form of amyloidosis. Here, we describe "the unusual case of a young man" with a nasopharyngeal mass and osteolytic lesions caused by systemic light-chain amyloidosis treated successfully with a combined surgical and chemotherapy approach.

متن کاملLocalized AL amyloidosis: A suicidal neoplasm?
Although AL amyloidosis usually is a systemic disease, strictly localized AL deposits are not exceptionally rare. Such case reports form a considerable body of published articles. Although both AL amyloidosis types are formed from an N-terminal segment of a monoclonal immunoglobulin light chain, a typical localized AL amyloid differs from the systemic counterpart by the morphological appearance...
