Abstract
Lymphagiomas are uncommon benign tumours of
tonsils. Lymphangiomas are benign lymphatic tumours
typically composed of dialated lymphatic channels which
often occur subcutaneously in the head and neck region.
Tonsillar lymphangiomas have been reported rarely in the
literature which presents as a mass lesion. Histological
confirmation is necessary for diagnosis. We report a case
of lymphangioma of the tonsil in an otherwise well 17
year old female patient and review the clinical and histological
features of this tumour. These lesions are usually cured by
simple surgical excision.
