An important arousal of tuberculosis has been observed in the last years, together with a change in it's clinical patterns, specially the extrapulmonar form, among wich is this laryngeal tuberculosis. This two facts and the marked polymorphism and mimetism proper of this condition may suggest that the Mycobacterium tuberculosis should be included in the differential diagnosis of any atypical lesion of the larynx, in order to obtain an earlier diagnosis excluding carcinoma and instaurate a chimotherapic protocol for minimizing or even avoiding any sequelae. Tuberculous epiglotittis is one of these atypical and unusual forms. The authors report a case of a 67 year-old male and provide a discussion on the diagnostic problems of this condition. |
