  • Title: [Voice-improving laser-surgical therapy in amyloidosis of the larynx].
    Author: Schade G, Jaehne M, Hess M.
    Journal: HNO; 2004 Aug; 52(8):740-3. PubMed ID: 15258742.
    Abstract:
    Laryngeal amyloidosis is relatively uncommon, accounting for only 0.2-1.5% of all laryngeal tumours. Hoarseness, dysphagia and stridor are potential clinical symptoms. A systemic amyloidosis should be excluded even though symptoms are only apparent in the head and neck region. For the localised form, surgical excision of the excess tissue is performed. We discuss the development of the disease, together with its diagnostics and therapy, based on the case report of a 42 year old female patient.
