Laryngeal aspergilloma: A complication of inhaled fluticasone therapy for asthma

Abstract

Primary laryngeal aspergillosis in immunocompetent patients is rare.We describe a case of a 59-year-old woman with laryngeal aspergillosis thought to be secondary to long-term inhaled fluticasone therapy. Laryngeal aspergillosis may be an underrecognized complication of inhaled corticosteroid therapy.
