Nodular amyloidosis. Plasma cells are common and the amyloid is derived from light chain immunoglobulin.

Yes, well done. This is surely nodular amyloidosis. Nose is a good location for this primary nodular form, I've seen it twice before in this location. However, it is still mandatory to request/exclude a serum paraprotein.

As Eman points out, the plasma cells are a vital clue. Below is the Kappa and Lambda. This confirms Lambda restriction, which indirectly confirms the diagnosis. Congo Red also below.
