[Laryngeal tuberculosis today. A case report].
We report the clinical, CT and histopathological findings of an 84-year-old female with laryngeal tuberculosis. Despite extensive clinical investigations no other manifestation of tuberculosis was found. Antituberculous therapy healed the disease. The clinical relevance and the differential diagnosis of laryngeal tuberculosis are discussed.
