Rare Case of Laryngeal Histoplasmosis: A Diagnostic Challenge

Granulomatous lesions, though rare, can affect diverse body regions, including the larynx, presenting diagnostic challenges. In India, where malignancy and tuberculosis prevail, fungal infections are often overlooked. We present a case of 34 year old male with complaint of change in voice which was approached as malignancy but later turned out to be histoplasmosis on histopathology. Diagnostic challenges arise due to symptoms overlapping with other conditions. Our case underscores the importance of considering fungal etiologies in endemic regions, especially when symptoms persist despite treatment.
