Abstract:
The amyloidosis is a uncommon and rare entity. It is a condition characterized by the extracellular deposition of homogeneous, eosinophilic proteinaceous material in the form of fibrils called "amyloid". This situation make a disfunction of the homeostasy in the affected place. In this letter we present three cases of localized laryngeal amyloidosis diagnosed between 1990 and 2004. Diagnosis and treatment were made in the three cases by direct laringoscopic and conventional microsurgery. Also we expose a actualised bibliographic review about studies more recent.
