Amyloidosis is a rare disease which involves deposition of amyloid in the tissues. Very rarely, amyloid can be deposited in a single organ giving rise to localised amyloidosis. In the present study, a rare case of localised amyloid deposition in the larynx in a young patient was presented. It is a slow progressive disease and often diagnosed late and is confirmed by biopsy results.
