“…Epidemiologically, LAPs are found more often unilaterally than bilaterally and are more frequent in adults than in children. [11] Histologically, the typical appearance of LAPs is usually represented by dilated lymphatic channels filled with fibrous stroma, adipose stroma, and/or lymphoid tissue, and the composition ratio can result in different phenotypes, some of which include pedunculated polypoid masses, whereas others are papillary. Some of the lesions have a more papillary architecture and minimal stromal fibrosis.…”

Rationale:Lymphangiomatous polyps of the palatine tonsils are benign tumors that are rare in both adults and children. Most patients suffering from this disease present with nonspecific symptoms similar to those of chronic tonsillitis.Patient concern:We report a case of a 21-year-old male miner who presented with a chronic history of a foreign body sensation in the oropharynx and an intermittently sore throat.Diagnosis:The patient was preoperatively diagnosed with the palatine tonsils neoplasm.Interventions:The neoplasm with palatine tonsils was completely resected under general anesthesia. The tissue was sent for histological examination, and the diagnosis was lymphangiomatous polyps of the palatine tonsils.Outcome:The surgical outcome was good, and no surgical site infection was recorded. After 12 months of follow-up, the miner was asymptomatic with no recurrence.Lessons:Tonsillectomy is a curative method to address lymphangiomatous polyps (LAPs) of the tonsils which resulted in no recurrence during the clinical follow-up period. The etiology of this rare disorder and potential pathogenesis should be studied in the future, which would help prevent its occurrence.

“…However, lymphagiomatous lesions of the palatine tonsil are rarely reported in the literature [2–18]. The references are even less frequent in the pediatric population [1–3, 5, 9]. Many authors believe that the true incidence may be higher than reported [1, 2, 9].…”

“…The third theory advances the hypothesis that the primitive lymphatic sac does not reach the venous system [1]. Finally, there is another pathogenetic theory, which suggests that chronic inflammation of the tonsil and the associated obstruction of the lymphatic channels cause mucosal congestion and subsequently polypoidal swelling [5]. However, this last theory is considerably unlikely because chronic tonsillitis is much more common than the lymphangiomatous tonsillar polyps, and because there are many patients, like our case, who do not have a history of recurrent tonsillitis [12, 16].…”

Primary lymphangiomas or lymphangiomatous polyps of the palatine tonsil are rare benign lesions that are described infrequently in the literature. The majority of the published cases concern adults. We report a case of a lymphangiomatous lesion of the right palatine tonsil of a 9-year-old boy. Our clinical suspicion was confirmed by the histological examination after tonsillectomy and the diagnosis of primary lymphangioma of the tonsil was made. In this case we discuss the clinical and histopathological features of this lesion and present a short review of the current literature.

“…3 Patients usually present with foreign body sensation in throat or dysphagia. In literature, only less than 30 cases reported 4 . In this paper, we report an extremely rare case of a very large lymphangiomatous polyp arising from tonsil in a pediatric patient which was unique from previous cases.…”

<p class="abstract">Lymphangiomatous polyps are rare tumours present in head and neck. Squamous papilloma accounts for majority of benign lesions, whereas vascular tumours are rarely reported. Tonsillar lymphangiomatous polyp is an uncommon hamartomatous lesion that generally arise from tonsillar surface. We present a case of young adolescent female with right tonsillar mass, tonsillectomy performed and post operatively found to be lymphangiomatous polyp, which has been rarely reported.</p>
