Laryngeal tuberculosis, often stemming from pulmonary tuberculosis, presents with symptoms like voice changes and difficulty swallowing. Definitive diagnosis requires sputum tests, chest X-rays, and biopsies to distinguish it from cancer.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Pulmonology

Background:

  • Laryngeal tuberculosis is the most common chronic granulomatous infection of the larynx.
  • It typically arises as a manifestation of pulmonary tuberculosis.
  • The condition predominantly affects men.

Observation:

  • Common symptoms include dysphonia (hoarseness), odinophagy (painful swallowing), referred otalgia (ear pain), and occasional dyspnea (shortness of breath).
  • Most patients exhibit radiological evidence of pulmonary involvement at diagnosis.
  • Lesions can be nodular, exophytic, or ulcerative, mimicking laryngeal carcinoma.

Findings:

  • Diagnostic confirmation relies on positive sputum acid-fast bacilli smears, characteristic chest radiography findings, and positive laryngeal biopsy results.

  • This study reviews cases diagnosed between 1994 and 2004, detailing diagnostic procedures and therapeutic approaches.

    • Implications:

    • Accurate diagnosis is crucial, as laryngeal tuberculosis can be mistaken for cancer, necessitating histopathological examination.
    • Understanding the diagnostic pathway and treatment outcomes aids in managing this condition effectively.
