Tuberculosis is the most frequent granulomatous disease involving larynx. In most cases it is secondary to pulmonary tuberculosis. The incidence of tuberculosis is now on a rise due to the increase in incidence of immune deficiency states. A case of tuberculosis of larynx in a 61-year-old female patient has been described here. Usually, the signs and symptoms of laryngeal tuberculosis resemble with malignant diseases of larynx. The diagnosis was made here by the microscopic examination of sputum smear for Acid Fast Bacilli, chest X-ray, neck CT-scan, direct laryngoscopy and biopsy from the laryngeal lesion.
