Abstract
Tuberculosis is a chronic bacterial infection produced by bacterias of the Mycobacterium TB complex. TB usually affects the lungs, but it can also affect other organs such as the larynx. The coexistence of laryngeal and pulmonary TB is uncommon in immunocompetent patients, thus, we present the case of a 45-year-old immunocompetent patient with both entities
