Abstract

Laryngeal tuberculosis may be a presenting feature in miliary tuberculosis. The case presented with a growth-like laryngeal lesion having no other symptoms, and radiological examination showed miliary mottling in the chest. Laryngeal lesion was also proved to be tuberculous on histological examination. Both the lesions disappeared within three months of starting anti-tuberculous chemotherapy. Relevant literature concerning this unusual presentation is discussed briefly.
