Abstract

Primary laryngeal aspergillosis is a rare clinical entity seen commonly in immunocompromised individuals. Here we report a case of a 63 year old male with hoarseness of voice. Laryngeal lesions may be confined to the glottis and may mimic malignancy. Surgical excision followed by antifungal therapy has shown promising results.

Keywords: Aspergillus; Glottic malignancy; Itraconazole; Primary Laryngeal Aspergillosis.
