Solitary amyloid tumor of the palate: A case report and literature review

Amyloidosis is often caused by the abnormal extracellular accumulation of amyloid in organs and tissues. This condition, affecting the head and neck region, is typically localized, and may also involve the oral cavity, particularly the tongue and buccal mucosa. As a solitary manifestation, the local...

description Amyloidosis is often caused by the abnormal extracellular accumulation of amyloid in organs and tissues. This condition, affecting the head and neck region, is typically localized, and may also involve the oral cavity, particularly the tongue and buccal mucosa. As a solitary manifestation, the localized amyloidosis occurring intraosseous is highly infrequent. In addition, localized amyloidosis has a great rate of recurrence. In this paper, a 50-year-old female patient with the chief complaint of pain in the anterior of the maxilla is reported. According to clinical examination, no significant pathologic lesion was seen. The radiographic image showed a radiolucent lesion around teeth four and five. The treatment of choice for the patient was an excisional biopsy. As amyloidosis diagnosis is clinically challenging, biopsy and histologic examination of lesions are necessary in this regard. Accordingly, it is concluded that long-term follow-up is mandatory in case of localized amyloidosis because late recurrence can occur in some cases.
