ABSTRACT
With a surge in the population of immunocompromised patients, the incidence of laryngeal fungal infection has also been increased. Infection by aspergillus, which is a kind of mold, or a filamentous fungus, occurs rarely in larynx. Furthermore, most aspergillosis of the upper airway is an extension of the pulmonary or systemic aspergillosis in the immunocompromised host. So, the primary laryngeal aspergillosis that occurrs as an isolated laryngeal infection of aspergillus without other aerodigestive tract extension is very rarely encountered. We present a case of primary laryngeal aspergillosis misconceived as a vocal cord cyst in a 24-year-old female who had no past history of immune deficiency, voice abuse or steroid use.
