Abstract
ABSTRACT
Amyloidosis represents a heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by the
deposition of amyloid protein in various target organs of the body. Amyloidosis
is classified as systemic or local. Larynx is the common site for localized amyloid
deposition and patient usually presents with hoarseness of voice. Because of
the similar clinical and imaging features to malignant laryngeal mass, diagnostic
confusion occurs and histopathological confirmation is usually needed. Although
laryngeal tracheo-bronchial amyloidosis is rare, it should be considered among the
differentials of benign laryngeal tumors.
