Abstract
We encountered a case of laryngeal amyloidosis. Laryngeal amyloidosis is a rare disorder and 98 cases have been reported in the Japanese literatures. Since laryngeal amyloidosis is a localized tumor, the main treatment is a surgical resection. Laryngeal amyloidosis over a small area can be treated by laryngomicrosurgery with either CO2 or a YAG -laser. However, if the larynx is widely affected by amyloidosis, then the patients should be treated by laryngofissure with tracheostomy.
