Abstract

Amylosis is characterized by an infiltration of acellular substance into the tissues. This substance is mainly made of protein molecules. This disease is primary or secondary to general disorders. Its anatomical polymorphism can well involve the ENT system. Its clinical pictures are well known by the ENT specialist. About tow amyloid tumors diagnosed because of oropharyngeous signs, the authors remind the main symptoms at the upper airway and ENT tracts; the local, regional and general treatment will be discussed.
