Laryngeal amyloidosis is a rare disorder that is usually localized. We treated two patients with laryngeal amyloidosis and reviewed the clinical features of 86 cases of laryngeal amyloidosis reported in Japan. A 47-year-old male (case 1) and a 69-year-old male (case 2) complained of hoarseness. We found a tumor in the supraglottic region in case 1 and in the supraglottic to glottic region in case 2. Surgical resection with a laryngofissure was performed in each patient. Hoarseness was relieved in both patients. Since case 2 also had glottic cancer (squamous cell carcinoma), irradiation therapy with 60 gy of Co60 was administered after surgical resection. The most frequent symptom in the 86 cases reported in Japan was hoarseness, and the commonly affected sites were in the supraglottic and glottic regions. Patients must be treated by laryngofissure if the larynx is widely affected by amyloidosis as in our patients.
