Lymphangiomatous polyps of the tonsils are rare with less than 30 cases reported in the literature. All have been unilateral. We report a case of a child with bilateral lymphangiomatous polyps of the palatine tonsils that was suspected on preoperative examination as opposed to an incidental postoperative histologic finding. These findings were also correlated with a further imaging study to establish this entity as a localized rather than a generalized histologic phenomenon.
扁桃体淋巴管瘤性息肉较为罕见，文献报道不足30例。所有病例均为单侧。我们报告一例患有双侧腭扁桃体淋巴管瘤性息肉的儿童病例，该病例在术前检查时被怀疑，而非术后偶然的组织学发现。这些发现还与进一步的影像学研究相关联，以确定该病变为局限性而非全身性组织学现象。
