Solitary tuberculoma of the larynx: a case report.
A case of solitary tuberculoma of the larynx in a 56-year-old man from Calabar, Nigeria, is presented. He had upper respiratory tract obstruction severe enough to necessitate a tracheostomy. It is suggested that tuberculoma of the larynx may not be as rare as a review of the currently available medical literature would suggest. More may be discovered if all cases of polypoid masses in the larynx, however innocent they look, are histologically examined.
