ABSTRACT
This paper reports the case of a 37-year-old female patient, who presented
as external patient because of a foreign body sensation in the
throat for over 2 decades with progressive dysphagia, increasing in
recent years. Physical examination showed a pedunculated tumor dependent
from the right palatine tonsil, which underwent tonsillectomy
having as histopathological result a lymphangioma. Given the rarity
of the diagnosis and the few cases reported in literature it is described
this clinical case.
