摘要

Laryngeal amyloidosis is uncommon and poorly understood, with limited long-term studies. Although primary localized laryngeal amyloidosis is extremely rare, it frequently involves the ventricles and the false and true vocal cords. We present a 58-year-old woman with localized laryngeal amyloidosis who presented no symptoms. On indirect laryngoscopic examination, the mass involved both arytenoids only, and had a likeness to a %26quot;boxer glove.%26quot; She was treated surgically by micro-laryngoscopy under general anesthesia and the mass was excised using a carbon dioxide laser. We present this case and a review of literature.
