Background Histoplasmosis is an endemic granulomatous fungal infection which rarely infects the larynx; less than 100 cases have been reported in medical literature till date. Case presentation A 6-year-old female child, a diagnosed case of B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia since past 2 years and on chemotherapy, presented with hoarseness and dysphagia since past 2 months. Direct laryngoscopy revealed granular appearance of posterior pharyngeal wall and the supra-glottic larynx. Histopathological examination and bone marrow aspiration confirmed the diagnosis of disseminated histoplasmosis. Conclusions Pharyngo-laryngeal histoplasmosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of an immunocompromised patient presenting with persistent hoarseness.
