Nocardia asteroides is the major cause of nocardiosis in the respiratory tract. The primary site of infection is the lung, with the upper aerodigestive tract being a rare region for localized disease to occur. We describe a case of a nocardial vallecular cyst and discuss the diagnosis and management of this unusual infection.
