Pedunculated lymphangiomatous polyps of the tonsil are rare benign lesions that have been described in literature using varied nomenclature. Majority of the cases have been reported in adults with varying clinical symptoms. We report a case of lymphangiomatous polyp of left palatine tonsil in a 14-year-old male child who presented with dysphagia and dysarthria. Clinical examination revealed a large pedunculated polyp arising from upper pole of left tonsil. Patient underwent left tonsillectomy with excision of the polyp. Based on histopathological features a diagnosis of pedunculated lymphangiomatous polyp was made. We discuss the clinical and histopathological features of this lesion with differential diagnosis and short review of literature.
扁桃体带蒂淋巴管瘤性息肉是罕见的良性病变，文献中对其描述使用了不同的命名法。大多数病例报道见于成年人，临床症状各异。我们报告一例14岁男性儿童左腭扁桃体淋巴管瘤性息肉，该患儿表现为吞咽困难和构音障碍。临床检查发现一个从左扁桃体上极长出的带蒂大息肉。患者接受了左扁桃体切除术及息肉切除术。根据组织病理学特征诊断为带蒂淋巴管瘤性息肉。我们讨论了该病变的临床和组织病理学特征、鉴别诊断并对文献进行了简要回顾。
