Account of 2 synchronic cases of tuberculosis and laryngeal carcinoma. Apart from bacteriostatic drugs one of them underwent a cordectomy the other one a total laryngectomy and neck dissection. Despite the great majority of laryngeal cancer it is compulsory to take in account the differential diagnosis with the tuberculosis, because of its possible coexistence. Perusal of national and international literature, having found only 11 of similar instances reported.

Mucins 5AC (MUC5AC) and 5B (MUC5B) are the major mucins providing the organizing framework for the airway's mucus gel. We retrieved bronchial mucosal biopsies and bronchial wash (BW) samples through bronchoscopy from patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ( = 38), healthy never-smokers ( = 40), and smokers with normal lung function ( = 40). The expression of MUC5AC and MUC5B was assessed immunohistochemically.

Spread of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) to the larynx is exceedingly rare and can be obscured by more common conditions such as laryngeal cancer or oropharyngeal candidiasis, complicating an accurate diagnosis. Risk factors for chronic laryngeal disease, such as smoking and toxin exposure, place TB infection comparatively lower for consideration on a physician's differential. However, identifying these lesions is crucial from a medical and public health perspective to prevent community spread.

To explore and summarize the morphological features of laryngeal tuberculosis under electronic laryngoscopy and image-enhanced endoscopy (i-scan). A retrospective analysis was conducted on the data of 31 patients diagnosed with laryngeal tuberculosis at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine from January 2014 to June 2024, encompassing the morphological features of electronic laryngoscopy and i-scan endoscopy, histopathological features, and supplementary clinical examination results. Descriptive statistical methods were employed for the analysis.

Article Synopsis
- Primary laryngeal tuberculosis is rare, with less than 1% incidence, while secondary laryngeal TB is more common and typically originates from the lungs.
- The case described involves a 31-year-old woman with persistent throat irritation, hoarseness, and mild respiratory issues, ultimately diagnosed with primary subglottic tuberculosis.
- This case is noteworthy due to the rarity of primary laryngeal TB, which can sometimes be mistaken for cancer.*
Rare Case of Laryngeal Histoplasmosis: A Diagnostic Challenge.

Granulomatous lesions, though rare, can affect diverse body regions, including the larynx, presenting diagnostic challenges. In India, where malignancy and tuberculosis prevail, fungal infections are often overlooked. 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.
