<p>A unique case of recurrent <a href="https://www.omicsonline.org/peer-reviewed/heterotopic-epiglottic-lymphoid-tissue-helt-causing-recurrent-epiglottitis-28395.html" style="color:blue; text-decoration:underline">infectious</a> epiglottitis in an immunocompetent, fully immunized, non-syndromic 23 year old female. Method: Case report Results: Patient was successfully managed with an endoscopic partial epiglottectomy at two years of follow-up. <a href="https://www.omicsonline.org/archive-otolaryngology-open-access.php" style="color:blue; text-decoration:underline">Pathology </a>revealed what appears to be sub-mucosal germinally-active heterotropic lymphoid tissue within the epiglottic soft tissues as the likely cause of the recurrent epiglottitis. Conclusions: The embryology of the lingual tonsils and epiglottis may provide a clue to the etiology of this case. <a href="https://www.scholarscentral.org/submissions/otolaryngology-open-access.html" style="color:blue; text-decoration:underline">Heterotrophic </a>epiglottic lymphoid tissue may be considered a newly described, clinically significant congenital laryngeal anomaly that may not present until adulthood and should be considered in rare cases of recurrent infectious epiglottitis.
