Abstract

Concretions in the tonsil or peritonsillar area are an infrequent entity in clinical practice. Some patients have no symptoms or they can present with fetor oris or odynophagia. The lesions are often detected incidentally during radiographic examination. This pathology can be related to lithiasis in other regions of body. The authors describe a tonsillolith accidentally detected in a patient with a lithiasis of left submandibular gland. We review published cases of tonsilloliths and analyse the causes of stone formation in peritonsillar and tonsil regions.

摘要

扁桃体或扁桃体周围区域的结石在临床实践中并不常见。一些患者没有症状，或者可能出现口臭或吞咽疼痛。这些病变常在影像学检查时偶然发现。这种病理情况可能与身体其他部位的结石形成有关。作者描述了一例在患有左下颌下腺结石的患者中意外发现的扁桃体结石。我们回顾已发表的扁桃体结石病例，并分析扁桃体周围和扁桃体区域结石形成的原因。
