Amyloidoma is a tumoral deposition characterized by localized
deposition of amyloid in the tissues. It is very rare in the head
and neck region, especially in the maxillary sinus. A 64 years old
female patient applied to our clinic with complaints of left-sided
nasal obstruction and epistaxis. Endoscopic examination revealed
a yellowish polypoid mass obstructing the left nasal passage.
Paranasal sinus tomography revealed a tumoral mass filling the left
maxillary sinus and repressing the medial wall. Biopsy was positive
for amyloidosis. A complete resection of the mass was suggested
for a definite diagnosis. The tumor was removed by endoscopic
medial maxillectomy, which permitted total excision of the lesion.
Pathology results showed amyloidosis. No other organ involvement
was detected. Rectal biopsy and proteinuria were negative. Here, we
present the extremely rare case having localized amyloidosis of the
maxillary sinus.
