  • Title: Amyloidosis presenting as a mass in the neck.
    Author: Endicott JN, Cohen JS.
    Journal: Laryngoscope; 1979 Aug; 89(8):1224-8. PubMed ID: 459655.
    Abstract:
    A 54-year-old white male presented with a large suprahyoid midline mass. On thorough history and physical examination, he had features which characterize amyloidosis, including congestive heart failure and carpal tunnel syndrome. The classification, clinical findings, and associated syndromes are reviewed. A striking feature of the amyloid deposit is its rapid growth. Amyloidosis should now be considered in a differential diagnosis of a neck mass.
