Abstract

A 56-year old man applied to otorhinolaryngology clinic with sore throat, dysphagia. During direct examination, left palatine tonsil and tonsil plicas ulcerovegetative lesions were found. In the indirect laryngoscopy, in some regions of the larynx and epiglottis, ulcerovegetative lesions were observed too. Because of suspicion of laryngeal carcinoma and metastasis, punch biopsy of the left palatine tonsil was performed. Chest x-ray and computerized tomography of the thorax revealed two adjacent cavitations in the apicoposterior segment of the left upper obe. In the histopathologic examination of biopsies, granulomatous structures that proved tuberculosis were observed. In the fiberoptic bronchoscopic analysis, endobronchial lesion was not detected. Acid-fast bacilli were determined in spu- tum and bronchial lavage in microscopy and culture. The case of this middle aged male patient with co-existence of tonsillar, laryngeal and pulmonary tuberculosis presents the clinical significance of upper airway tuberculosis in terms of its infectiousness and rare occurrence.

Özet

56 yaşında erkek hasta KBB polikliniğine boğaz ağrısı, yutkunma güçlüğü şikayetiile başvurdu. Direkt muayenede sol palatin tonsilde ve tonsil plikalarında ülserovejetan lezyon görüldü. İndirekt laringoskopide epiglot ve larinkste de yer yer ülserovejetan lezyonlar izlendi. Larinks karsinomu ve metastazı ön tanısı ile palatin tonsilden biyopsi alındı. Direkt Göğüs radyogramı ve bilgisayarlı toraks tomografisinde sol akciğer apikoposterior segmentte birbirine komşu 2 adet kaviter imaj izlendi. Biyopsilerin histopatolojik incelemesinde tüberkülozla uyumlu granülom yapıları izlendi. Fiberoptik bronkoskopik değerlendirmede endobronşial tutulum izlenmedi. Bronş lavajı ve balgamın mikroskopi ve kültüründe aside dirençli bakteri saptandı. Tonsil, larinks ve akciğer tüberkülozu tanısıyla olguya dörtlü anti tüberküloz tedavi başlanıldı. Orta yaşlı erkek olgu, üst solunum yolu tüberkülozlarının bulaştırıcılık açısından klinik önemi ve nadir görülmesi üzerine sunuldu.
