“…Consensus regarding the best strategy in treating isolated neck XGI has not been reached due to the rarity of the disease. [ 5 , 7 , 9 – 11 , 13 – 16 , 20 – 22 ] After comprehensively reviewing previous publications, we found that neck XGI management mostly relied on curative surgical excision. [ 7 , 9 – 11 , 13 – 16 , 20 – 22 ] A wide open surgical field might be needed in cases where inflammation extends to adjacent tissues.…”

Rationale:Xanthogranulomatous inflammation (XGI) is a rare inflammatory process, which mostly affects the kidney and gallbladder. It usually simulates an aggressive neoplastic process. Occurrences in the neck are extremely rare and would usually be associated with a preexisting cyst or glandular tissues.Patient concerns:A 49-year-old diabetic patient presented with a right painful neck mass for a week. The pretreatment computed tomography (CT) imaging with contrast demonstrated a huge ill-defined heterogeneous-enhanced lesion abutting surrounding musculatures and great vessels. Both fine needle aspiration (FNA) and ultrasound-guided core biopsy of the neck mass showed inflammatory cells only.Diagnoses:Histologic evaluation found granulation tissue with histiocytes and occasional Touton giant cells confirming the diagnosis of xanthogranuloma.Interventions:Open excisional biopsy demonstrated a yellowish mass-like lesion with abscess inside.Outcomes:The patient recovered from the disease without posttreatment comorbidities.Lessons:This case highlights the need for physicians to maintain awareness of this clinical entity and delayed- or overtreatment should be avoided in these patients due to preoperative ambiguous diagnosis.

“…Malakoplakia is more frequently reported in the genitourinary tract, and to a lesser extent the retroperitoneum and colon, 1 but is uncommon in the head and neck region. Within the head and neck region, there are reports of malakoplakia of palatine tonsil 2 ,3 and tongue base, 4 larynx, 5 middle ear, 6 parotid gland, 7 temporal bones, 8 and nasopharynx. 9 ,1 0 First reported in 1902 by Michaelis and Gutmann, 1 1 the term malakoplakia (Greek; malakos-soft, plakos-plaque) was coined in 1903 by Professor Von Hansemann.…”

“…Th is disorder most commonly involves the genitourinary tract; the head and neck region is a rather uncommon site of this disease process. Reports of head and neck involvement have included the larynx, 2 palatine tonsil, [3][4][5] middle ear, 6 tongue, 7 parotid gland, 8 temporal bone, 9 neck, 10 nasopharynx, 11,12 oropharynx, 13,14 and submental region. 14 We report an unusual case of malacoplakia that occurred in the vallecula.…”

Malacoplakia of the Vallecula Masquerading as a Malignancy

Malacoplakia is an unusual chronic granulomatous infl ammation that commonly occurs in the urinary tract. It is rarely encountered in the head and neck region, and only a handful of such cases have been described. We report a case of malacoplakia in a 50-year-old woman who presented with a mass in the vallecula that was clinically suspected of being malignant. Th is case illustrates the importance of recognizing this unusual benign lesion, which closely mimics a malignancy on clinical examination.
