    Area of Science:

    • Otorhinolaryngology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Abscess of the lingual tonsil is an uncommon clinical presentation.
    • Diagnostic challenges are often associated with this condition.

    Observation:

    • This study presents a case of lingual tonsillar abscess.
    • The formation mechanism was investigated in relation to normal posterior tongue histology.

    Findings:

    • The pathophysiologic mechanism of lingual tonsillar abscess formation was correlated with normal posterior tongue histology.
    • This correlation aids in understanding the development of this unusual entity.

    Implications:

    • Understanding the pathophysiologic basis can improve diagnostic accuracy for lingual tonsil abscess.
    • This histological correlation provides a foundation for further research into lingual tonsil pathologies.
