Abstract:
Candidiasis is a rare entity reported as an isolated and primary laryngeal disease. In this condition, inhaled steroids were the single most common predisposing factor. Also mycotic infections of larynx are frequently seen in patients with immune insufficiency, although they have also been reported in individual with normal immune status. We report a case of isolated laryngeal Candidiasis in an immunocompetent individual, with an unusual presentation with exophytic lesion, edema, ulceration, white plaque, and pseudomembranous formation mimicking supraglottic carcinoma, to highlight the clinical of this condition and provide a review of the literature.
