Adenoids are strategically located for mediating local and regional immune functions as they are exposed to antigens from both the outside air and the alimentary tract. Recurrent or chronic respiratory infections can induce histomorphological and functional changes in the adenoidal immunological barrier, sometimes making surgical treatment necessary. Our aim in this review is to summarize the crucial points about not only the immunological histopathology of adenoidal tissue, especially in patients with adenoid hypertrophy, but also the most common and useful diagnostic techniques and surgical options.
腺样体位于战略位置，可介导局部和区域免疫功能，因为它们暴露于来自外界空气和消化道的抗原。复发性或慢性呼吸道感染可引起腺样体免疫屏障的组织形态学和功能改变，有时需要手术治疗。我们在这篇综述中的目的是总结不仅关于腺样体组织的免疫学组织病理学的关键点，特别是在腺样体肥大患者中，而且还包括最常见和有用的诊断技术和手术选择。
