ABSTRACT
Amyloidosis may appear as a systemic or localized disease. Localized
forms are little frequent, have a good prognosis and frequently affect
areas of head and neck, specially larynx, pharynx or tongue. Nasopharynx
and cervical lymphatic ganglions are little frequent localizations
of these. This paper reports the case of 65-year-old male patients who
assisted to consultation due to persistent symptoms of subjective hearing
loss and otic fullness.
