    Abstract:
    Tuberculosis is the chronic granulomatose most common infection of the larynx. It appears generally from pulmonary tuberculosis. It prevails in men. The most habitual symptomatology includes dysphony, odinophagy, referred otalgy and sometimes dispnea. The majority of patients use to have radiological pulmonary affectation to the diagnosis. The nodular exophitic or ulcerous lesions can be confused with carcinoma, therefore in these cases the anatomopathologic study is essential. The diagnosis is made with positive spit samples, specific characteristics of the thorax radiography and the positive biopsies of acid-alcohol resistant bacillus. We present the patients diagnosed with laryngeal tuberculosis in our hospital between 1994 and 2004. We describe the diagnostic procedures realised and the adopted therapeutic attitude in every case and results.
