Abstract
|
|
|
Laryngeal amyloidosis is an uncommon disorder that consist of subepithelial deposits of amyloid. It may occur
as isolated localized deposits or as a part of generalized systemic amyloidosis. Localized amyloidosis is a benign
disease as opposed to systemic amyloidosis. Its management are medical treatment and surgical intervention.
Medical treatment including corticosteroids and radiotherapy are ineffective. Surgical intervention include localized
endoscopic excision (via either cold knife or CO2 laser) or open operation. And it is important to use technique
that will minimize trauma to the larynx. The purpose of this presentation is to report the case of localized laryngeal
amyloidosis only treated with localized endoscopic excision (with cold knife) with good post operative state
and no evidence of recurrence until now.
