Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 12
Abstract
Lymphangiomatous polyp of palatine tonsil is a very unusual lesion found in the head and neck region. Lymphangiomatous polyps are non neoplastic developmental lesions composed of tissue elements native to the nasopharynx and categorized as a hamartoma. They most frequently present as mass lesions and can be cured by simple surgical excision. We report a rare case of 10 days old male child with unilateral lymphangiomtous polyp of palatine tonsil. Keywords: Lymphangiomatous polyp, tonsil, hamartoma.
