title: Laryngeal amyloidosis.
abstract: Localized laryngeal amyloidosis is a benign, rare tumor of the larynx. Six cases of laryngeal amyloidosis were evaluated and treated from 1967 through 1984. One case is that of an 8-year-old female: the youngest reported case. Therapy is directed towards surgical resection. The cases in this report had significant laryngeal involvement necessitating extensive surgery.
