Spontaneous Intracapsular Tonsillar Hemorrhage
Journal Title: Journal of Clinical and Analytical Medicine - Year 2012, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
In this case report, we discussed a case of spontaneous intracapsular tonsillar haemorrhage appearing as a tumor medial to the left palatine tonsil and clinging to the tonsillar tissue with a pedicle. The patient was a 30 years old healthy pregnant woman. She had a growing sensation of a lump in her oropharynx and dysphagia in the past three months. She had no history of acute and chronic tonsillitis or trauma. On examination, a mobile brown mass with a 2 cm diameter having a small pedicle at the upper pole of the left palatine tonsil was seen. Other laboratory results were normal. The mass was excised under general anesthesia. Histological evaluation revealed tonsillar intracapsular bleeding with lymphoepithelial tissue and acute hemorrhagic fields bounded by a capsule. A postpartum tonsillectomy was planned for our patient. Tonsillectomy must be performed to patients followed up with this diagnosis in order to differentiate between dysphagia, risks of bleeding and aspiration, and malignant tumors.
