Abstract

Videobronchofibroscopy of a Chinese 74-year-old woman showing abundant whitish plaques in the vocal cords with antraconic lesions extending throughout the tracheal pathway and bronchial trees, predominantly in the upper left lobe, compatible with Endobronchial My- cobacterium tuberculosis. The evolution and prognosis varies, from complete resolution to severe endobronchial stenosis.
