Laryngeal tuberculosis is a rare entity. We consider the case of a woman of 62 who presented a one-year evolving chronic dysphonia chart associated with cough, febricula and general health damage. The nasofibroscopy showed a budding ulcerous lesion of the larynx a priori evoking a granulomatous lesion or cancer. The BAAR spits were strongly positive and the radiographic pictures of the thorax, typically evoked a pulmonary tuberculosis. Seeing the excellent therapeutic response to TB treatment in 4 months period, the bifocal tuberculosis diagnostic was confirmed.
