Abstract

Laryngeal amyloidosis is a rare benign disease. It is characterized by extracellular deposition of homogeneous and eosinophilic protein material in the form of fibrils. Diagnosis of this disease is made by histologic examination of involved tissue. It is ususlly primary or localized but rarely associated with a systemic or generalized disease. We present a case of primary laryngeal amyloidosis that was treated with KTP 532 laser vaporization.
