Abstract
ABSTRACT Fungal laryngitis is common in immunocompromised patients. But it is rarely seen in a immunocompetent person. Only around 40 cases have been reported in world literature so far. This condition is often confused with premalignant conditions like leukoplakia, dysplasia. Our patient, a 35 years old immunocompetent male, presented with hoarseness, who later on developed stridor and had to be tracheostomized. Laryngoscopy was done under general anesthesia and biopsy taken. Histopathological examination revealed fungal laryngitis (Aspergillus). The patient recovered completely after antifungal treatment.
