A case of laryngeal amyloidosis associated with a laryngocele is reported. Preoperative CT showed diffuse thickening of the epiglottis, aryepiglottic folds and false vocal cords with well-defined calcific foci. MRI revealed contrast enhancement and increased signal intensity on T2-weighted images.
Laryngocele is a benign condition due to abnormal dilatation of the laryngeal saccule. Localized amyloidosis causing laryngocele is a rare entity with few reports in the literature. We present a young male patient with a large combined laryngocele secondary to laryngeal amyloidosis.
Laryngeal amyloidosis and laryngoceles are uncommon. A unique case of both conditions occurring simultaneously is discussed. Preoperative computerized tomographic sections clearly demonstrated both disease processes, their extensiveness, and their intimate relation. These findings are correlated
Both laryngocele and laryngeal amyloidosis are uncommon, and simultaneous occurrences of these entities are extremely rare. A case of laryngeal amyloidosis with laryngocele in which the computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of the larynx, clearly demonstrating both disease
Laryngocele may be defined as an abnormal dilatation of the saccule of the ventricle and its pathogenesis is uncertain. We report a laryngocele caused by amyloidosis localized to larynx in a 60-year-old male patient. We would like to mention that amyloidosis should be evaluated in the etiology of
Six cases of laryngocele are reported including 2 bilateral, external laryngoceles, 1 internal laryngocele associated with amyloidosis, and 3 combined laryngoceles. Laryngoceles occur predominantly in males. Cervical mass and hoarseness were the most common signs and symptoms. Bilateral, external
