ABSTRACT

Laryngeal aspergillosis is commonly found secondarily as a part of systemic infection involving the respiratory system in immune- compromised patients. Isolated primary laryngeal aspergillosis is a very rare opportunistic infection, especially in immunocompetent host. Recently we experienced a rare case of primary laryngeal aspergillosis without any other respiratory tract extension and without any generalized immune deficit. So we report this case with a review of literature. (J Clinical Otolaryngol 2016;27:152-155)
