Lymphangiectatic fibrous polyp of the palatine tonsil. A report of three cases

Three cases of lymphangiectatic fibrous polyp of the palatine tonsil are reported. The polyp arose from the upper pole of the tonsil in two cases and from the middle-to-lower part in one case. They were all asymptomatic until the polyps grew larger. The polyps were removed, with or without the tonsil. The pertinent literature is reviewed.
