title: [Localized laryngeal amyloidosis. Treatment with CO2 laser].
abstract: Amyloidosis of the upper airways is rare. The larynx is the most common site of involvement. Primary amyloidosis may be localized or generalized. We report a case of laryngeal amyloidosis in which amyloid deposits were confined to the larynx (right false vocal cord and subglottis) and successfully treated with CO2 laser.
