Primary Laryngeal Amyloidosis and its Response to Surgical Treatment

We have reported two male patients presenting with hoarseness and stridor respectively to the outpatient department, with later requiring emergency tracheostomy as life saving procedure. Endoscopic excision biopsies of the laryngeal lesions were performed and histopathological examination revealed amyloidosis. In the first patient, endoscopic excision of the mass was done with cold knife and in the second, treated with staged endoscopic coblation followed by decannulation. There was no recurrence of disease in both patients at one year of follow up.
