Abstract

Amyloidosis of the upper aerodigestive tract is rare. However, the larynx is the commonest site within the upper airways to be affected.

Three cases of uncomplicated primary amyloidosis of the larynx and one case of laryngeal amyloidosis with more generalized dissemination throughout the head and neck are presented.

In this article the different presentations of laryngeal amyloidosis and principles of management of this condition at that site are highlighted.
