A Case of Laryngeal Amyloidosis Treated by Endoscopic Surgery through Tracheostoma

Abstract

We recently encountered a case of laryngeal amyloidosis. The patient was a 58-year-old man who presented with the complaint of stridor. Fiberoptic laryngoscopy revealed yellow smooth-surfaced tumors in the left arytenoid and in the subglottis. The biopsy findings were consistent with amyloidosis. The mass in the arytenoid was treated by laryngomicrosurgery, and the mass in the subglottis was treated by endoscopic surgery with tracheostomy. There have been no remarkable signs of recurrence since the surgeries.
