Abstract EN
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.
