[摘要] Background: Primary laryngeal amyloidosis is a rare lesion accounting for 0.2-1.2% of benign tumors of larynx. Case Report: A 60 year old female presented with complaints of hoarseness of voice. On evaluation MRI neck showed an ill defined mass lesion measuring 15.2 x 6.2 mm in the false cord. Histologically Congo red stain highlighted amyloid deposit and characteristic apple green birefringence was present. Systemic amyloidosis was ruled out. Thus a diagnosis of localized amyloidoma of larynx was made. Patient underwent endoscopic resection of the lesion. Conclusion: Laryngeal amyloidoma is rare disorder of localized amyloidosis. Systemic involvement should be ruled out. The diagnosis should be confirmed histologically. Surgical resection is the mainstay of treatment.
