Abstract
th century before the introduction of antituberculosis drugs. Nowadays laryngeal tuberculosis accounts for less than 1% of tuberculosis cases [2]. The route of infection has also been changed. In the past, the laryngeal mucosa had been infected via contaminated sputum of severe pulmonary tuberculosis cases [3]. Today it’s more commonly seen in patients without any sign of pulmonary involvement. In these cases hematogenous or lymphatic spread rather than direct inoculation has been asserted as the main mechanism [4]. We report a case of laryngeal tuberculosis which underwent a laryngeal biopsy with a prediagnosis of laryngeal carcinoma.
