Abstract
A rare case of papillary lymphoid hyperplasia is reported in a 16-year-old girl. The case presented as papillomatous lesions of both palatine tonsils. Histopathologic findings revealed an unusual form of lymphoid hyperplasia. It is important to recognize this peculiar lesion because it exhibits clinical features suggestive of benign (papillomas) and malignant (carcinoma) neoplasia. Papillary lymphoid hyperplasia is a benign process, probably non-neoplastic, and easily cured by tonsillectomy.Entities:
