Laryngeal tuberculosis: A case of a non-healing laryngeal lesion

Abstract: We report a case of laryngeal tuberculosis in a 47-year-old Korean man. Laryngeal tuberculosis is rare and currently accounts for less than 1% of all cases of tuberculosis. Clinical features of laryngeal tuberculosis include hoarseness, odynophagia and dyspnoea. Macroscopically, laryngeal tuberculosis may mimic laryngeal carcinoma, chronic laryngitis or laryngeal candidiasis. The diagnosis is often delayed due to a low index of clinical suspicion and hence may pose a significant public health risk. Laryngeal t… Show more

“…12 Diagnosis can be difficult, as lesions may appear ulcerative, mimic neoplasia or candidiasis, or have a non-specific inflammatory appearance. Ultimately tissue diagnosis is essential to assess for tumour, which is considerably common, or to identify acid-fast bacilli on microscopy.…”
