Abstract
Amyloidosis in the head and neck area is a rare, benign condition that affects mainly the larynx. Two types of amyloidosis are described in the literature, i.e., systemic and localized, with the latter being more common in the head and neck area. We report two cases of localized amyloidosis in the region of the arytenoid cartilage and palatoglossal arch. Both patients were women and had a sensation of a foreign body on swallowing. They were treated successfully surgically, and the lesions did not recur.
