Abstract
Primary Laryngeal Tuberculosis is an uncommon clinical entity. Reported incidence of laryngeal tuberculosis is less than 1%. Secondary laryngeal TB is more common and is presumed to arise from spread of infected secretions from lungs to vocal cords. We report an unusual case of primary laryngeal TB of subglottic region in a 31 year female who presented with persistent throat irritation and hoarseness of voice since two months with mild respiratory discomfort and was diagnosed to have primary subglottic Tuberculosis.
We report this case owing to the rarity of disease, sometimes masquerading as malignancy.
