Recurrent Primary Laryngeal Amyloidosis in a 36 Year-Old-Woman

Abstract

Laryngeal amyloidosis, a rare form of primary amyloidosis, is often benign and runs an indolent course. It will often recur, necessitating regular follow up to detect local recurrence as well as development of systemic amyloidosis. We report a case of a middle-aged woman with recurrent laryngeal amyloidosis and discuss relevant literature.
