Lymphoid Papillary Hyperplasia of Tonsil: A Rare Case Report

چکیده
Lymphoid papillary hyperplasia of tonsil is a rare entity with a clinical impression of both a benign and a malignant tumor. We are reporting a case of four and a half years old Indian male child who underwent tonsillectomy for left sided tonsillar growth. Histopathologic study of the specimen showed a distinct form of lymphoid hyperplasia with finger-like projections that composed of remarkable follicular lymphoid hyperplasia. The case was diagnosed as lymphoid papillary hyperplasia. We could not find any such previous Indian case in the most recent literature so far. Recognition of this rare pathology is important because in spite of the clinical features suggestive of both a benign and a malignant tumor; this process is essentially a benign tumor-like proliferation that can be easily cured by tonsillectomy.
