Localized Laryngeal Amyloidosis

Abstract

Amyloidosis in head and neck is rare but a benign disease. Among the sites in head and neck, larynx is the most commonly involved. A 40-year-old female had presented with hoarseness of voice and dyspnea with a mass in false vocal cord, which was biopsied and diagnosed as amyloidosis. After excluding systemic diseases, final diagnosis of localized laryngeal amyloidosis was given.
