Abstract:ObjectiveTo discuss the categorization, pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of nasopharyngeal amyloidosis.MethodsThe case diagnosis of nasopharyngeal amyloidosis was confirmd by nasopharyngeal biopsy by MRI and the biopsy of abdominal wall fat. The nasopharyngeal lesion was resected endoscopically. The referred literature was reviewed.ResultsNasopharyngeal amyloidosis was diagnosed via preoperative and postoperative pathological examinations.MRI might be helpful for the diagnosis and differential diagnosis. The nasopharyngeal lesion was resected endoscopically. Pathological examination displayed amorphous pink material with positive Congored staining. The patient has been followed up for one year postoperatively without recurrence.ConclusionsThe diagnosis of nasopharyngeal amyloidosis depends on pathological examination. MRI is the best auxiliary examination for the differential diagnosis, and surgical resection via endoscopic approach is the preferred treatment.
