RESUMEN

Aspergillosis of larynx is very rare. Only a few cases have been reported in medical literature. Larynx is generally involved secondarily by aspergillosis. Only rarely the larynx happens to be the primary site of involvement. The lesions may be confined to the vocal folds or may involve various other sites of the larynx. There is, invariably, certain risk factors which may predispose for fungal infection like immune deficiency condition, use of inhaled or systemic steroids, long and continuous use of antibiotics etc. These lesions may mimic malignancy or a premalignant condition. Awareness of this entity is essential as the management depends on accurate diagnosis. These lesions invariably respond well to antifungal therapy with elimination of risk factors. Here we have reported a case of primary aspergillosis of the larynx without involvement of other part of the airway and without any generalized immune deficit in a 35 year old woman.
