Three Cases of Recurrent Laryngeal Amyloidosis

Abstract

We reported on three cases of the laryngeal amyloidosis. The three male patient's ages were 74 years (case 1), 36 years (case 2) and 62 years (case 3). All patients had complained of hoarseness. In Cases 1 and 2 we found yellowish masses in their larynxes, vocal cords and false cords. Case 3 had lesions in the pharynx in addition to the larynx. In all cases biopsies were performed through microlaryngoscopy and their histological diagnoses were amyloidosis. Their hoarseness had not subjectively improved. All cases were recurrent.
