Abstract: Objective The purpose of this study is to investigate the clinical characteristics and treatment of localized amyloidosis of torus tubalis. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the amyloidosis of torus tubalis with middle ear effusion, summarized the characteristics, performed diagnosis of the clinical case, and reviewed relevant literature. Results The patient had repeated hydrops in the left middle ear, and conservative treatment was poor for this case. Electronic nasopharynx examination showed bilateral torus tubalis hypertrophy, and amyloidosis was recommended after biopsy. The examination was completed to exclude systemic amyloidosis. Lesions of bilateral torus tubalis were removed through operation with low-temperature plasma radio-frequency ablation. After one year of follow-up, the patient recovered well, and no recurrence or progression to systemic amyloidosis was observed. Conclusion Amyloidosis is rare in the torus tubalis. Surgical treatment is feasible when the clinical symptoms are not treated conservatively. In particular, it is crucial to exclude systemic amyloidosis, and postoperative follow-up should be closely followed.

Key words: Amyloidosis, Torus tubalis, Middle ear effusion
