“…[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][17][18][19] The imaging features are nonspecific. As opposed to amyloidomas of the larynx, the amyloid tumors at other head and neck sites generally have a more aggressive appearance.…”

“…Other reported sites include the larynx, palate, orbits, sella, nasopharynx, lymph nodes, tracheobronchial tree, and abdominal wall. 10,14,[16][17][18][19][20] Patients with primary localized amyloidoma have no documented risk for the development of myeloma and no evidence of an increased mortality. In contrast, patients with systemic amyloidosis and myeloma have a markedly reduced life expectancy.…”

SUMMARY:Amyloidomas are benign tumorlike lesions consisting of localized deposits of amyloid and are the rarest form in the group of amyloidosis-related lesions. Diagnosis requires special stains; therefore, a high degree of suspicion for this disease is required. In this review, we describe the imaging features of amyloidomas involving the intracranial compartment, head and neck, and spine. We also discuss the differential diagnosis and briefly review the pertinent literature.ABBREVIATIONS: FAP ϭ familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy; T1WI ϭ T1-weighted images; T2WI ϭ T2-weighted images

“…Histopathological examination with haematoxylin and eosin shows eosinophilic amorphous proteinaceous material; congo red staining shows apple green birefringence under polarized light [13]. Small cell carcinoma of the larynx and invasive medullary carcinoma of the thyroid are rarely associated and need to be ruled out [1].…”
