Abstract

Laryngeal amyloidosis in an infrequent disorder, with nonspecific symptoms that difficult the diagnosis and without a consensus for its treatment. Through the description, analysis and comparison of three cases of laryngeal amyloidosis at the Hospital Universitario San Ignacio Bogotá, we seek to expand the knowledge in this pathology and compare it with what is described in the literature. We made a retrospective research of patients with a diagnosis of laryngeal amyloidosis in the last five years in our institution, obtaining a final sample of 3 cases that met the inclusion criteria. The most frequent symptom was dysphonia, the most frequent presentation was systemic, contrary to what was reported in the literature. Airway remodeling was performed using laryngeal microsurgery with carbon dioxide laser, obtaining good clinical results. We consider important to carry out more studies on the subject in our country.
