RESUMO
Há na literatura inúmeras descrições de amiloidose limitada à laringe, sendo que esta afecção corresponde a cerca de 1 por cento dos tumores benignos da laringe. Entretanto, há somente três relatos de amiloidose acometendo a região do anel de Waldeyer. Descreveremos um raro caso de amiloidose em que há acometimento de sítios distintos do trato aéreo-digestivo superior pilar amigdaliano, rinofaringe, supraglote e glote, sem continuidade aparente do tecido amilóide. Abordaremos, também, o seguimento pós-operatório com uma disfagia grave.
ABSTRACT
There are some reports of localized amyloidosis in the larynx, an entity that corresponds to one percent of all benign tumors of this region. However, there are only two cases of amyloidosis in the Waldeyer's ring 6, 13, 14. We hereby describe a rare case of amyloidosis in areas not associated with the upper aero-digestive tract tonsil pillar, rhinopharynx, supraglottis and glottis, without visible continuity of amyloid tissue. We will also discuss post-operative follow up with severe dysphagia.
