Abstract
Amyloidosis localized to the head and neck most commonly affects the laryngo-tracheobronchial tree or tongue. It rarely affects the hypopharynx, with only 3 cases reported in literature. All of these cases describe females presenting with hypopharyngeal amyloid masses and associated multiple myeloma or monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance. They were treated with chemotherapy and CO2 laser, respectively. In comparison, our case identifies a 69-year-old female, with a history of MALT lymphoma but no concurrent malignancy. She initially presented with dysphagia and was diagnosed with hypopharyngeal amyloidosis. After 532 nm potassium titanyl phosphate laser treatment, she ultimately felt improvement in her dysphagia.

期刊介绍：
The Laryngoscope has been the leading source of information on advances in the diagnosis and treatment of head and neck disorders since 1890. The Laryngoscope is the first choice among otolaryngologists for publication of their important findings and techniques. Each monthly issue of The Laryngoscope features peer-reviewed medical, clinical, and research contributions in general otolaryngology, allergy/rhinology, otology/neurotology, laryngology/bronchoesophagology, head and neck surgery, sleep medicine, pediatric otolaryngology, facial plastics and reconstructive surgery, oncology, and communicative disorders. Contributions include papers and posters presented at the Annual and Section Meetings of the Triological Society, as well as independent papers, "How I Do It", "Triological Best Practice" articles, and contemporary reviews. Theses authored by the Triological Society’s new Fellows as well as papers presented at meetings of the American Laryngological Association are published in The Laryngoscope.
