  • Hypertropied palatine tonsil is a common disorder in pediatric otolaryngology. It could be easily observed and adenoid vegetation could induce maxillary sinusitis by the obstruction of nasopharynx and choanae. This is a study on the relationship of the hypertropied palatine tonsil, 42cases, with maxillary sinusitis and adenoid vegetation The results was as followings ; 1. The sex distribution was male 30cases($71.4\%$), female 12cases($28.6\%$) and age distribution was from 3 to 17year-old. 2. Hypertropied palatine tonsil distribution was the degree of both 3, 2cases($4.8\%$), one 3 the other 2, 3cases($7.l\%$), both 2, 22cases($52.4\%$), one 2 the other 1, 9cases($21.4\%$), both 1, 5 cases($11.9\%$). and only one 1, 1case($2.3\%$). 3. By the PNS X-ray, there were resulted 29 cases($69.0\%$) both maxillary sintis, 4cases($9.5\%$) only one maxillary sinusitis and 9cases($21.4\%$) norma] sinus. 4. By the Head latera] X-ray, there were resulted 13cases($31.0\%$) large adenoid, 24cases($57.l\%$) mediate adenoid, and 5cases($l1.9\%$) small adenoid.

  • This study evaluated the voice of 68 normal children and 50 children with palatine tonsil and adenoid hypertrophy with MDVP to examine the hypothesis that their mouth breathing makes the vocal folds dry and this condition contributes to lower the level of voice quality. The results showed that children with palatine tonsil and adenoid hypertrophy had statistically significant elevations in Jitt, RAP, PPQ, Shim and APQ parameters, and had the lower level of voice quality. Therefore, the children with palatine tonsil and adenoid hypertrophy need vocal hygiene education.

  • Lipomas is one of the most common benign neoplasm in the body, but only rarely occurs in the oral cavity We report here a case of a 49-year-old female with a lipoma of palatine tonsil. Microscopical examination revealed a stromal neoplasm composed of mature fat with the presence of a few thin and anastomosing fibrous septa. The surface epithelium was of nonkeratinizing stratified squamous type. There was the dense fibrous connective tissue between mature fat and surface epithelium. The histopathologic findings and literature on tonsillar lipoma is reviewed.

  • Mucosa-Associated Lymphoid Tissue(MALT) lymphoma is the most common extranodal B cell lymphoma among peripheral one. Although palatine tonsil is common origin among Waldeyer's ring, there is no presented case in Korea. This lymphoma is known to be less invasive than other subtype of low grade B cell Non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Because MALT lymphoma has a tendency of localizing one area for a long time, there are many cases treated by local treatment like radiotherapy, or local excision and radiotherapy. We report a case of MALT lymphoma originated from left tonsil.

  • Basaloid squamous cell carcinoma(BSCC) is a high-grade variant of squamous cell carcinoma, with a prediction for multifocal involvement of the base of tongue, pyriform sinus, supraglottic larynx, hypopharynx and palatine tonsil. It primary affects men in the seventh decade of life with frequent cervical lymph-node metastasis at presentation. Grossly, these tumors are usually firm to hard, with associated central necrosis, occuring as exophytic to nodular masses. Histologically, the this infiltrating tumor offers a variety of growth patterns, including solid, lobular, cribriform, cords, trabeculae, nests and glands or cyst. We present a 55-year-old female who was treated with surgical excision and radiotherapy. She was firstly presented as a recurrent inflammatory neck mass and finally diagnosed with basaloid squamous cell carcinoma in the palatine tonsil.

  • Extramedullary plasmacytoma(EMP) is a rare tumor that originates as a clone of malignant transformed plasma cells. EMPs make up 4% of all plasma cell tumors and 90% of EMP cases occur in the head and neck area. The diagnosis of EMP is based on the morphologic and immunophenotypical finding of a localized collection of monoclonal plasma cells in the absence of plasma cell proliferation elsewhere. Patients with EMP can be treated by surgery or radiotherapy alone or in combination. EMP has good prognosis but long-term follow-up is critical because local recurrence or systemic progression to multiple myeloma may develop more than 30 years after the initial diagnosis of EMP. We report a case of EMP in palatine tonsil of 21-year old man who was treated successfully by radiotherapy alone.

  • Background and Objective : Peritonsillar abscess occurs when the bacterial infection of the palatine tonsil spreads to the potential peritonsillar space deep behind the tonsil. We observed and treated a case of peritonsillar abscess patient from a child acute tonsillitis. We present this case because there were no former reports of peritonsillar abscess treated by herbal medicine. Methods : We used herbal medication for 24 days. We diagnosed the patient through abdominal examination and have decided the treatment principle accordingly. We used the visual analogue scale(VAS). Results : After the treatment the grade of VAS was decreased and clinical symptoms were improved. Conclusions : Gejigajagyak-Tang in considerably effective on the treatment of pus of peritonsillar abscess.
