Cryptococcosis of the larynx in a patient with AIDS: an unusual cause of fungal laryngitis.
We have presented a case of unsuspected cryptococcal laryngitis, clinically masquerading as Kaposi's sarcoma in a patient with AIDS. The spectrum of laryngeal disease in AIDS patients includes a variety of infections and neoplasms, which can be treated satisfactorily when accurate and timely diagnosis is made.
