Abstract
Two cases of localized laryngeal amyloidosis were reported. The two patients were 39-years-old male (case 1) and 49-years-old male (case 2).
Case 1 had complained of hoarseness for about 2 years. A polypectomy was performed by laryngomicrosurgery. Two years later, laryngeal fiberscopy showed tumorous swelling at the bilateral false cords. Case 2 had complained of a resent dyspnea after having hoarseness for about 15 years with no treatments. At the left false cord, the posterior commissure and the subglottic area, tumorous masses were observed under laryngeal fiberscopy.
In both case, laser vaporization was performed by laryngomicrosurgery and the histological diagnosis was amyloidosis. Their hoarseness was improved, and there have been no remarkable recurrent signs since the last operations.
Laser surgery is an effective treatment for laryngeal amyloidosis.
