Laryngeal tuberculosis co-existent with Pulmonary tuberculosis

Abstract

Tuberculosis of the larynx is a rare form of tuberculosis. Patients usually present with hoarseness of voice or dysphagia and other nonspecific constitutional symptoms like fever or localized pain. We are reporting a case of 50 year old male who presented to us with hoarseness of voice, haemoptysis, dysphagia and a proliferative growth in the epiglottis which was diagnosed as laryngeal tuberculosis on histopathology. He also had associated pulmonary tuberculosis.
