Chondroid Choristoma of Palatine Tonsil: Normal Tissue in an Abnormal Location
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2013, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
Choristoma is a condition in which histologically an island of normal tissue occurs in an abnormal location. Here we report a case of cartilaginous choristoma of palatine tonsil, in a patient who underwent tonsillectomy for chronic tonsillitis. Histological examination demonstrated the unexpected presence of a mature island of hyaline cartilage surrounded by lymphoid tissue of tonsil. Keywords: Choristoma, cartilage, Histological examination.
