Abstract
Amyloidosis includes different forms of organic or systemic damage; it is characterized by deposits fibrillar in the connective tissue. At the ENT level, isolated involvement of the larynx is the most observed. However, isolated laryngeal involvement is rare. A search for forms multifocal or systemic by means of complementary examinations is therefore recommended. Preferential treatment of laryngeal form is endoscopic surgery with preservation functional.
