Abstract Introduction Primary localized laryngeal amyloidosis is an extremely rare condition. It usually presents with hoarseness pain and or difficulty in breathing. Case presentation We present the case of a 23-year-old woman with primary localized laryngeal amyloidosis who presented with hoarseness and dysphagia. Conclusion A search of PubMed shows that dysphagia in patients with laryngeal amyloidosis has been reported only once although this symptom is relatively common in other conditions presenting with laryngeal mass. There were no signs of any systemic disease in our patient and diagnosis was established .
