 AB    The localization of Leishmania spp. in the larynx is rare but it has
       recently been described in patients infected by human immunodeficiency
       virus (HIV). The normal treatment given is antimonials. We describe a
       case of isolated leishmaniasis in the larynx which was cured by surgery.
       Our patient was a 47-year-old man who had suffered visceral
       leishmaniasis in his childhood with no immunosuppression.
