Abstract

The localization of Leishmania spp. in the larynx is rare but it has recently been described in patients infected by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The normal treatment given is antimonials. We describe a case of isolated leishmaniasis in the larynx which was cured by surgery. Our patient was a 47-year-old man who had suffered visceral leishmaniasis in his childhood with no immunosuppression.
