Abstract
A leiomyoma is a remarkably rare cause of a benign, one-side tonsillar enlargement. The diagnosis is essentially histologic and will not normally be suspected clinically. Immunohistochemistry is needed for substantiation of the morphology and confirmation. We submit this illustrative case report.
