A retrospective analysis of 26 patients seen in the last nine years in our hospital was conducted to illustrate the various modes of clinical presentation. Of the 26 patients, twenty were male and six female. The average age of presentation was 47 years with an age range of 15 months to 71 years. Hoarseness (92.3 per cent) was the commonest symptom. The laryngoscopic appearances often simulated malignancy. Most patients (69.2 per cent) outnumbered ulcerative ones (38.5 per cent). Laryngeal oedema was infrequent (7.7 per cent). Diagnosis was based on a laryngeal biopsy in 18 patients and on evidence of associated pulmonary tuberculosis and response to anti-tuberculous therapy in eight. Chest X-rays showed apical cavitation and infiltration as the commonest findings. Three patients had miliary tuberculosis and one had no pulmonary lesion. Diabetes mellitus was present in seven (26.9 per cent) patients. Four illustrative cases are described. The problems in diagnosis and management of laryngeal tuberculosis are discussed.
