[Tuberculous laryngitis: not so rare?].
It is a well-known fact that tuberculosis is a major health problem in developing countries. What about its incidence in European countries, especially in Belgium? We present a case of laryngeal tuberculosis in which the clinical appearance of laryngeal malignancy was amazing. The histopathological examination revealed tuberculosis. The laryngeal involvement is the first and single sign of the primary pulmonary form. Recent Belgian epidemiological data are illustrated.
