Laryngeal Tuberculosis

BACKGROUND: Having hoarseness of voice as the first clinical manifestation of tuberculosis is rare. This atypical presentation causes some confusion since other more common conditions, such as laryngeal carcinoma, present similarly and might require more invasive tests to confirm the diagnosis. CASE PRESENTATION: A 38-year-old male presented to the otorhinolaryngology clinic with a four-month history of change in voice. Laryngoscopy demonstrated a right glottic mass, raising suspicion of laryngeal cancer. The computed tomography showed a mass and incidental finding of opacities in lung apices. Chest x-ray demonstrated findings suggestive of tuberculosis. Polymerase chain reaction and culture of sputum samples confirmed the diagnosis and the patient was started on anti-tuberculosis treatment. CONCLUSION: Despite accounting for only 1% of pulmonary tuberculosis cases and having a similar presentation to laryngeal carcinoma, we recommend considering laryngeal tuberculosis when evaluating hoarseness of voice in endemic areas.

Laryngeal Tuberculosis

A patient with laryngeal and pulmonary tuberculosis is described. The similarity between the clinical presentation and gross appearance of laryngeal carcinoma and tuberculosis in this patient and others reported in the literature is emphasized. Laryngeal biopsy is necessary to establish the correct diagnosis, but this must be done only after the proper precautions are taken to reduce the risk of infection to the physician performing the biopsy. Examination of the chest x-ray and acid-fast stain of the sputum are rapid and highly reliable screening tests for laryngeal tuberculosis.

Laryngeal Tuberculosis

Laryngeal tuberculosis is a rare entity and the disease related to laryngeal cancer is extremely rare. We describe a case of laryngeal tuberculosis in a 74-year-old man with a history of radiotherapy for laryngeal carcinoma four months earlier. Laryngoscopy demonstrated a white mass on the right vocal fold at the site carcinoma had previously occupied. Recurrence of the cancer was suspected, but the biopsy result showed histological features of tuberculosis. We discuss the derangement of the host's mucosal barrier by the malignancy as a contributing factor in secondary tuberculous infection. Tubercular bacilli may be reactivated due to the immunosuppression associated with the therapy.

Laryngeal tuberculosis (TB) occurs in about 1% of patients suffering from pulmonary tuberculosis; however presentation of these patients with primary laryngeal symptoms is a rarity. In such situations it forms a diagnostic dilemma between laryngeal TB and the more common laryngeal carcinoma. Highlighting this dilemma we present our patient, a 76 year old male, farmer presenting with primary complaints of progressive dysphagia for 3 weeks. This patient happens to be our second case of laryngeal TB, presenting with primary laryngeal symptoms in a span of under 2 years. We present these cases to emphasize that although laryngeal tuberculosis presenting with primary laryngeal symptoms is a rarity, it must be considered when evaluating dysphagia or dysphonia in populations where TB is endemic.
