Laryngeal histoplasmosis is a very rare cause of laryngitis which is encountered usually in the immunosuppressed states but can also occur in immunologically intact status. We report a rare case of laryngeal histoplasmosis in a man in his 60s, a chronic smoker who presented with a history of progressive hoarseness for 3 months. The glottic growth was biopsied. The rarity of diagnosis was aided by histopathological examination of the tissue, which revealed histoplasmosis. Management was done with intravenous liposomal amphotericin B and oral itraconazole with complete resolution of symptoms.
喉组织胞浆菌病是一种非常罕见的喉炎病因，通常发生在免疫抑制状态下，但也可能发生在免疫正常状态下。我们报告了一例 60 多岁的男性喉组织胞浆菌病的罕见病例，他是一名慢性吸烟者，有 3 个月的进行性声音嘶哑病史。对声门上生长物进行了活检。组织学检查有助于诊断，结果显示为组织胞浆菌病。治疗采用静脉注射两性霉素 B 脂质体和口服伊曲康唑，症状完全缓解。
