Primary Laryngeal Amyloidosis: A Case Report

Abstract

Amyloidosis is a benign, indolent condition which presents with an abnormal deposition of extracellular protein in various organs of the body. It usually presents with hoarseness of voice to an otolaryngologist. A sits clinical appearance mimics an early laryngeal cancer. It remains a diagnostic challenge to the clinician. It is essential to differentiate a primary laryngeal amyloidosis from malignancy to have a holistic approach towards the management of the disease. Here in this article, a case is reported in order to have a better outlook about this rare condition and to differentiate it from laryngeal malignancy for an effective management and cure.
