[Neoplastic development of laryngeal amyloidosis. Apropos of a case]

The authors report the case of a 62 years old patient who presented a squamous laryngeal carcinoma 8 years after the discovery of amyloidosis localized to one vocal cord. In this patient, a relationship would seem to exist between the two pathologies, with degeneration of amyloidosis being responsible, though a random coexistence cannot, of course, be completely excluded. After a review of laryngeal amyloidosis and its management, this particular case is discussed in relation to other cases described in the literature.
