Published: February 2025
We report a unique case of isolated aspergillosis of the laryngeal ventricle in an immunocompetent patient, mimicking a laryngeal tumor. This case highlights the necessity of considering fungal infections in the differential diagnosis of laryngeal lesions, even in the absence of established risk factors.

Asthma is a common respiratory condition with various phenotypes, nonspecific symptoms, and variable clinical course. The occurrence of other respiratory conditions with asthma, or respiratory comorbidities (RCs), is not unusual. A literature search of PubMed was performed for asthma and a variety of respiratory comorbidities for the years 2019 to 2024.

Radiological imaging has proven to be a useful tool in the assessment of asthma, its comorbidities and potential complications. Characteristic chest radiograph and computed tomography scan findings can be seen in asthma and in other conditions that can coexist with or be misdiagnosed as asthma, including chronic rhinosinusitis, inducible laryngeal obstruction, excessive dynamic airway collapse, tracheobronchomalacia, concomitant COPD, bronchiectasis, allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis, eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis, and eosinophilic pneumonia. The identification of the characteristic radiological findings of these conditions is often essential in making the correct diagnosis and provision of appropriate management and treatment.

Primary vocal cord aspergillosis is extremely rare in immunocompetent individuals, in whom lesions are mainly confined to the larynx, with the possibility of tracheal and bronchial infection largely ignored. In this article, we present a case of primary vocal cord aspergillosis involving the trachea and bronchus in a previously healthy 55-year-old woman. Our case highlights that vocal cord aspergillosis can involve the trachea and bronchus and that laryngoscopy alone may be insufficient to secure a comprehensive diagnosis in healthy patients presenting with hoarseness, pharyngalgia, and normal chest radiography.

<br><b>Introduction:</b> The taxonomy of vocal fold lesions has been refined, and it serves as a common descriptive language for diagnosis, treatment algorithms, and reporting of outcomes. However, we observe rare cases when numerous pathologies overlap, resulting in an unclear and complicated clinical presentation of the glottis.</br> <br><b>Aim:</b> The aim of this paper is to present cases of overlapping etiopathological factors which poses a challenge when making a diagnosis and referring a patient for adequate treatment.
