  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

A 68-year-old man was referred to our hospital because of refractory epistaxis. Physical examination showed a submucosal swelling of the nasopharynx. CT revealed a swelling of the nasopharynx and scattered cal-cification in the nasopharynx. Amyloid deposition was revealed by pathological examination. Laboratory find-ings showed hypoimmunoglobulinemia and k type Bence Jones protein in urine but the findings were not compatible with the criteria of multiple myeloma. Thus diagnosis of primary amyloidosis was made. We carried out the combination chemotherapy with melpharan and prednisolone, which were not effective.

J Amyloidosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of refractory and recurrent epistaxis.
