Solitary mass lesions of the palatine tonsils are rare in children. While a tonsillar mass can be concerning for a neoplasm, benign conditions may present with a mass arising from the surface of the palatine tonsils in children. We describe clinical and histopathological characteristics of a lymphoid polyp in a child with unilateral tonsillar mass.
Retrospective chart review.
A 6-year-old girl presented for evaluation of recurrent acute tonsillitis and a mass on the left palatine tonsil. A pedunculated mass with the base attached to the left palatine tonsil was observed. The mass was completely removed by tonsillectomy. The final diagnosis was lymphoid polyp.
Pediatricians, otolaryngologists, and pathologists should be aware of the occurrence of tonsillar lymphoid polyp in the pediatric age group.
腭扁桃体孤立性肿块病变在儿童中较为罕见。虽然扁桃体肿块可能令人担忧是肿瘤，但良性疾病也可能表现为儿童腭扁桃体表面出现肿块。我们描述了一名单侧扁桃体肿块儿童的淋巴样息肉的临床和组织病理学特征。
回顾性病历审查。
一名6岁女孩因复发性急性扁桃体炎和左侧腭扁桃体肿块前来评估。观察到一个有蒂肿块，其基部附着于左侧腭扁桃体。通过扁桃体切除术将肿块完全切除。最终诊断为淋巴样息肉。
儿科医生、耳鼻喉科医生和病理学家应意识到儿童年龄组中扁桃体淋巴样息肉的发生情况。
