“…Squamous papillomas account for the majority of the benign lesions, whereas vascular tumors are reportedly rare (1). We identified ten well-documented cases of lymphangiomatous tumors of the tonsil (MEDLINE 1966(MEDLINE -1999 (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7), with a single case report as early as 1910 (8) (summarized in Table 1). Because of the unusual clinical and pathologic features of these polyps, pathologists and clinicians alike may have difficulty in classifying them correctly.…”

“…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.

“…Lymphangiomatous neoplasms are the next most common lesions followed by epidermal inclusion cysts (1). They sometimes carry different names such as lymphangioma, hamartomatous tonsillar polyp, lymphangiomatous polyp, lymphangiectatic fibrous polyp, lymphangiectatic fibrolipomatous polyp, and so on according to their stromal components (2).…”

Lymphangiomatous polyps are rare benign hamartomatous tumors of the palatine tonsils that can cause significant distress to the patients such as sore throat, foreign body sensation, a lumpy feeling in the throat region, dysphagia, and eventual suffocation. In this paper, the case of a 17-year-old male who came to the outpatient clinic with a complaint of difficulty in swallowing, eventual vomiting, and occasions of hematemesis is presented. On physical examination, the patient had a smooth-surface, polypoid, pedunculated tumoral lesion originating from the middle pole of the left palatine tonsil and protruding into the oropharyngeal isthmus. The patient underwent left tonsillectomy. Histopathological examination of the surgical specimen showed typical features of a lymphangiectatic fibrolipomatous polyp. The case reported herein with the brief literature review points out the clinical and the benign, non-neoplastic characteristics of the lymphangiectatic fibrolipomatous polyp, which can be cured by surgical excision along with tonsillectomy.
