Isolated primary amyloidosis of the epiglottis presenting as a long-standing foreign body sensation in throat: A case report

Primary amyloidosis of the larynx is a rare benign disease of unknown aetiology. Isolated epiglottic involvement with amyloidosis is an extremely uncommon benign laryngeal pathology and can present with a foreign body sensation in the throat. This lesion should be kept in mind in cases with a long-standing foreign body sensation in the throat. Observation and endoscopic carbon dioxide laser excision are the main methods of treatment. Long-term follow-up is also required because of the slow progressive nature of this disease.
