  • Title: A case of hemodialysis-associated amyloidosis localized to the external auditory canal.
    Author: Yamazaki K, Sato H, Ishijima K, Abe T, Ishikawa K.
    Journal: Auris Nasus Larynx; 2011 Apr; 38(2):295-9. PubMed ID: 21035288.
    Abstract:
    Amyloidosis of the external auditory canal is extremely rare. Only 12 cases, including the present case, have been reported, and this is the second reported case attributed to dialysis. This case involved a 56-year-old man who had been on dialysis for 12years. A tumor was visible in the right external auditory canal and caused pain. The tumor was resected at another hospital, but subsequently recurred with rapid increase in size due to infection. We therefore performed further resection at our hospital. We report our experiences herein, together with a discussion of the literature.
