The histological findings in laryngeal biopsies and local clinical findings in thirty cases of leprosy have been reported in detail. It is emphasised that in areas where there is significant incidence of leprosy, laryngeal involvement may be expected even in the absence of local clinical manifestations and be got confirmed by histological examination and demonstration of acid-fast bacilli. Further, histological appearance may not be very characteristic at the outset. The observations made by previous authors have been reviewed and discussed.
