Abstract:
In this paper, we present two cases of extrapulmonary tuberculosis, the first case with tuberculosis of the larynx and the second with tuberculosis lymfadenitis. In both cases malignant lesions were primarily proposed. We emphasize that definitive diagnosis requires culture and specification of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. We draw attention to the fact that extrapulmonary tuberculosis is still a differential diagnostic consideration.
