Abstract
|
|
|
|
Amyloidosis is a diverse group of disorders that share the deposition of amyloid protein in various extracellular tissues. Systemic amyloidosis may involve any body part and about 9-15% of it is localized. In the head and neck, the larynx is known as most common involved site. A histological diagnosis of amyloidosis is necessary to establish a definite diagnosis. Conservative surgery can be done for relieved airway obstruction or restored voice. We present three cases of patients with laryngeal amyloidosis that was treated with laryngeal microscopic surgery with laser.
