ABSTRACT: Laryngeal tuberculosis is a rare entity. We consider
the case of a woman of 62 who presented a
one-year evolving chronic dysphonia chart associated with cough, febricula and general health damage. The
nasofibroscopy showed a budding ulcerous lesion of the larynx a priori
evoking a granulomatous lesion or cancer. The BAAR spits were strongly positive
and the radiographic pictures of the thorax, typically evoked a pulmonary
tuberculosis. Seeing the excellent therapeutic response to TB treatment in 4
months period, the bifocal
tuberculosis diagnostic was confirmed.
