          Abstract

          Caracterizada pelos depósitos extracelulares de uma substância de natureza proteica, desconhece-se ainda a real causa da amiloidose. Esta doença pode acometer qualquer parte do corpo, mas raramente aparece nas vias aéreas superiores; contudo, a laringe é o local mais comumente atingido por esses depósitos a este nível. Uma pequena revisão na literatura foi feita para investigar os aspectos clínicos, diagnóstico e opções terapêuticas disponíveis, possibilitando assim uma melhor conduta diante de um paciente com amiloidose laríngea. Os autores ressaltam a importância de se estar atento para o seu diagnóstico, uma vez que a doença, quando localizada, apresenta um prognóstico melhor. Neste estudo é apresentado um caso de amiloidose laríngea em um homem de 64 anos.

          Translated abstract

          Characterized by extracelular deposition of amyloid proteins, it's still unknown the real cause of amyloidosis. This illness can occur in any part of the body, but it rarely appears in the upper airway; however, the larynx is the most common local undertaken for these deposits in this level. A small review in the literature was made to investigate the clinical aspects, the diagnosis and the therapeutical options available, making possible a better behavior in a patient with laryngeal amyloidosis. The authors emphasize the importance of being attentive for the diagnosis, because when the disease is localized, the prognosis is better. In this study, it's presented a case of laryngeal primary amyloidosis in a 64-year-old man.

          Laryngeal amyloidosis.

          A R Talbot (1990)
          Laryngeal amyloidosis is a rare disease. Surgery has been the mainstay of treatment either endoscopically or by an external neck approach. In more recent years, surgery with the carbon dioxide laser has been advocated for this condition. Four cases of laryngeal amyloidosis are presented. The application and the advantages of the carbon dioxide laser for the treatment of laryngeal amyloidosis are discussed.
