This study details the first reported case of isolated malakoplakia affecting the epiglottis in a female patient. Malakoplakia is a rare granulomatous condition, typically found in the urinary tract.

Area of Science:

  • Pathology
  • Otolaryngology
  • Rare Diseases

Background:

  • Malakoplakia is a rare granulomatous inflammatory condition.
  • It most commonly affects the urinary tract but can involve other organs.
  • Laryngeal malakoplakia is exceptionally rare, with only three prior reported cases.

Observation:

  • A case of malakoplakia involving the epiglottis is presented.
  • The patient was a 45-year-old female.
  • This represents the first documented instance of isolated epiglottic malakoplakia.

Findings:

  • Histopathological confirmation of malakoplakia in the epiglottis.
  • Absence of involvement in other laryngeal or tracheal structures.
  • Distinguishes this case from previously reported laryngeal malakoplakia.

Implications:

  • Highlights the potential for epiglottic involvement in malakoplakia.
  • Expands the known anatomical distribution of this rare condition.
  • May prompt consideration of epiglottic examination in similar cases.
