Abstract

Laryngeal amyloidosis is a rare condition encountered by otolaryngologists, though it is the most common site for amyloidosis in head and neck region. It often presents with dysphonia as it involves the vocal cords. This again makes its diagnosis and management challenging. Precise surgical excision is mandatory for functional preservation of voice along with close follow-up for quick detection of any recurrence. We present a case of laryngeal amyloidosis managed with microlaryngeal surgery resulting in complete resolution of symptoms and no recurrence.
