Journal Title: Journal of Evidence Based Medicine and Healthcare - Year 2014, Vol 1, Issue 7
Abstract
Lymphangiomatous polyp of palatine tonsil is a rare entity. It can cause significant distress to patient like dysphagia, foreign body sensation, feeling of lump in throat & can mimic malignancy. We are presenting a case of pedunculated lymphangiomatous polyp of right palatine tonsil in a 20years old female, who presented in ENT OPD with enlarged right palatine tonsil and recurrent episodes of tonsillitis. Right tonsillectomy under general anaesthesia was done and nodular tonsillar mass measuring (2.5x2x1cm) attached with a pedunculated polypoidal mass measuring (3.5x1x.5cm) was resected out and sent for histopathological examination. On histopathological examination, the polypoidal mass showed lining by stratified squamous epithelium with fibro-collagenous stroma consisting of lymphatic channels suggestive of lymphoid nature of polyp.
