Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 9
Abstract
Laryngeal tuberculosis is a very rare form of tuberculosis and is mostly secondary to pulmonary tuberculosis. Patients usually present with hoarseness of voice and other nonspecific constitutional symptoms. In this study, we present an atypical case of primary vocal cord polypoidal mass with tuberculosis. A 48 year old man presented with hoarseness of voice and dysphagia of four months duration. Laryngoscopic study showed isolated polypoidal mass of vocal cord and biopsy of the lesion showed granuloma with caseous necrosis. Chest x-ray was normal. The patient was treated with standard regimen of tuberculosis and was cured after 12 months of anti tubercular therapy. in conclusion the Laryngeal tuberculosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients with hoarseness. In order to reach definitive diagnosis microbiological and histopathological samples should be taken by biopsy and prompt anti tubercular treatment should be started Keywords: Laryngeal Tuberculosis, Vocal cord, Hoarseness.
