Description
Summary:Laryngeal tuberculosis ¡s a rare presentation of tuberculosis. It can mimic laryngeal carcinoma with Its clinical and Imaging findings. A 51-year old woman underwent18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) imaging for clinically suspected carcinoma of the larynx. PET/CT revealed lung lesions consistent with tuberculosis in additional to hypermetabolic focus on larynx. The patient was histopathologically diagnosed with lung and laryngeal tuberculosis.
