[Localized amyloidosis of the ENT area]. / Die lokalisierte Amyloidose im HNO-Bereich.

ABSTRACT

Although amyloidosis is in general a systemic disorder, it may occur as an isolated lesion, especially in the head and neck. The actual classification of amyloidosis is dependent on the biochemical nature of its protein deposits. In the present report, the symptoms and diagnosis of localized amyloidosis are discussed with special regard to histological findings.
