Abstract

Ashwini Kumar, Singh DK, Arpit Saxena and Sanjay Singhal

With early diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis and availability of effective antituberculosis chemotherapy, prevalence of laryngeal tuberculosis had decreased significantly.

Here we are presenting one such case of 55 years old male, initially suspected as laryngeal carcinoma was diagnosed to have secondary laryngeal tuberculosis.
