| مستخلص: | Laryngeal tuberculosis is the most frequent granulomatous disease of the larynx and it is prone to be diagnosed as cancer. COVID-19 pandemic caused considerable disruption in tuberculosis service provisions both in the primary care and hospital settings. This report describes a rare case of life-threatening stridor in a patient who presented with an ulceroproliferative laryngeal mass later confirmed as laryngeal tuberculosis. Urgent tracheostomy was performed. The patient's sputum and the computed tomography of the chest revealed a pulmonary, as well as laryngeal tuberculosis. The patient was commenced on a 24 week course of anti-tuberculous treatment which was interrupted because of a mild course of hospital-acquired coronavirus infection. 3 months after initial treatment for tuberculosis, his sputum cultures became negative. Flexible laryngoscopy was performed at our department 4 months after commencement of treatment, demonstrating complete regression of the lesion and symmetrical laryngeal mobility, hence the patient was successfully decannulated and discharged to be followed up to his community hospital. In the time of COVID-19 pandemic, we should never underestimate other severe infectious diseases.
