BACKGROUND/AIMS Cribriform adenocarcinoma of the tongue and minor salivary gland (CATMSG) is a rare, locally invasive, and poorly recognized tumor, typically occurring on the base of the tongue. This case report describes the previously unreported use of transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for the local resection of CATMSG in a novel location, the palatine tonsil, and leverages follow-up informati...

Tonsillolith is defined as concretion of calcified materials in the crypt of palatine tonsil. Small tonsillolith is relatively common and can occur up to 10% of the population but due to the asymptomatic nature of this condition, most cases go unreported. Symptomatic patients can present with foreign body sensation, halitosis, sore throat, odynophagia and in certain cases even dysphagia or refe...

Lymphangiomatous polyps are rare benign hamartomatous tumors of the palatine tonsils that can cause significant distress to the patients such as sore throat, foreign body sensation, a lumpy feeling in the throat region, dysphagia, and eventual suffocation. In this paper, the case of a 17-year-old male who came to the outpatient clinic with a complaint of difficulty in swallowing, eventual vomit...

Objectives/Hypothesis Tonsillectomy is an effective treatment for periodic fever, aphthous stomatitis, pharyngitis, and cervical adenitis (PFAPA) syndrome, but the role of adenoidectomy, as well later tonsillar regrowth, unclear. To find out if volume lymphoid tissue pivotal to efficacy, we analyzed association between relapse symptoms PFAPA syndrome regrowth after tonsillectomy or adenotonsill...

A choristoma or heterotopias is an aggregate of microscopically normal cells or tissues which occurs in aberrant locations. A choristoma is a tumour like mass, whereas heterotopias refers to a displaced tissue which is necessarily not a swelling or a neoplasm. We are reporting a case of a 24 year old female who presented with recurrent tonsillitis and halitosis. On examination, the tonsils were...
