| description | Laryngeal tuberculosis is the most frequent granulomatous disease of the larynx. Recent studies have described a change in the clinical features of laryngeal tuberculosis.
We present 5 cases of laryngeal tuberculosis treated at our department. The results showed a mean age of 36 years, a male predominance, and 3 patients with negative chest radiographic findings. The prominent presenting symptom was hoarseness. Laryngeal lesions did not show any predilection for specific laryngeal sites in our series. Physicians should consider tuberculosis in the differential diagnosis of laryngeal disease especially in males with negative chest radiographs. In this regard, the medical history and physical examination of these patients must be evaluated meticulously. |
