Abstract

Benign vascular tumours , specially those arising from lymphatic vessels, occur so unfrequently on the tonsil that are scarcelly reported. Their appearance may be similar to other polypoid lesions of the tonsils which include fibroma, lipoma, papilloma, cysts and others but their clinical behaviour may be very different. Their pathogenesis is not clearly determined yet. An asympthomatic clinical pattern is the most frequently reported behaviour at diagnosis but sudden growth, with airway or deglutory pathway compromise, may occur and so, complete surgical treatment should be performed. A case of sympthomatic pedunculated tonsillar linphangiona is reported and a medical literature review is provided.
