Abstract:
A 14-year-old girl developed progressive hoarseness and breathing difficulty due to a mass in the subglottic larynx. A biopsy specimen obtained at direct laryngoscopy showed localized aggregates of amyloid. The lesion was excised completely with a carbon dioxide laser. This is the second case of laryngeal amyloidosis in a child reported in the English-language literature.
