One of the rare sites to be affected is the middle ear and mastoid cavity, for which the term otoscleroma was coined.

Fungal laryngotracheitis (FLT) is rare, and the diagnosis can be challenging, as its presentation lacks specificity and may resemble other conditions such as granulomatous disease, gastroesophageal reflux, or malignancy. FLT can be very invasive, causing complete laryngotracheal separation, leading to a non-functioning larynx. We report a 39-year-old Indian woman with diabetes who presented to the emergency department with a sore throat, hoarseness, dysphagia, and stridor for two days.

We present a case of 34 year old male with complaint of change in voice which was approached as malignancy but later turned out to be histoplasmosis on histopathology.

Sarcoidosis is an inflammatory, non-caseating granulomatous multisystem disease associated with JAK-STAT (Janus kinases-signal transducer and activator of transcription proteins) pathway activation. We present a patient with severe multi-systemic sarcoidosis who showed marked improvement with tofacitinib with regards to pulmonary, cutaneous, nasal and laryngeal disease. Tofacitinib prevented critical laryngeal stenosis from progressing to tracheostomy, induced regression of cutaneous lesions and improved pulmonary function in this steroid-resistant and immunosuppressive intolerant case.
