Presence of Cholesterol Clefts in Chronic tonsillitis
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 6
Abstract
In the tonsils, as in the paranasal air sinuses and middle ear, cholesterol ester crystals with foreign body giant cell reaction may result from a focal haemorrhage. Some authorities suggest that cholesterol clefts accumulate in the tissues as a result of degeneration and disintegration of epithelial cells. On the other hand, some authors have suggested circulating plasma lipids as a more likely source, as cholesterol clefts are common in atherosclerotic plaques. In our study 7 cases showed cholesterol clefts, but the significance of cholesterol clefts of tonsils is unknown
