Primary laryngeal amyloidosis is an uncommon condition, and cases in the pediatric population are even rarer. We present a case of a nine year old female patient who presented with sleep disordered breathing and dysphonia to our outpatient clinic. The patient underwent Microlaryngoscopy and Bronchoscopy for diagnosis which identified a large soft tissue mass in the supraglottis. After Histological diagnosis was made, she had subtotal debridement of the mass and has maintained a good exercise tolerance with no airway compromise.
