title: [Laryngeal tuberculosis: a diagnosis not to be forgotten].
abstract: Tuberculosis of the larynx has become a rarity since the discovery of streptomycin in 1944. In this article a personal case history is described, together with a review of the literature and an analysis of the main clinical features of tuberculosis of the larynx. The pseudo-tumoural form of tuberculosis is often indicative of the presence of pulmonary tuberculosis, but may also occur in isolation. Histology is often the only definitive diagnostic test.
