A Rare Case of Amyloidosis Larynx and Its Treatment

Background: A group of disorders known as amyloidosis are caused by an accumulation of extracellular amyloid or insoluble fibrillar protein and can cause stridor, dyspnea, coughing, and hoarseness.We intend to review the etiology of amyloidosis and raise awareness of its possible existence in any laryngeal disease by reporting this case.Case description: A 51-year-old woman has been experiencing chronic, worsening hoarseness for the last two years.A flexible laryngoscope examination revealed a lump in the right larynx's posterior region.After using the cold steel procedure for resection, a notable improvement was observed.Conclusion: Amyloidosis of the larynx is a rare case, the most common manifestations are hoarseness and cough.It can be diagnosed with histological examination and Congo red stain and cure with resection technique with cold steel method.
