They have been described using various terms such as a lymphangiomatous polyp, lymphangiectatic fibrous polyp, lipomatous polyp, or pedunculated tonsil; hence, the actual incidence is difficult to be quantified. Polyp of the palatine tonsils is an unusual benign lesion of the head and neck. It is a rare polypoidal mass that generally arises from a pedicle attached to the tonsil and projecting into the oropharynx. Polypoid lesions of the head and neck are likewise rare, and such tumors arising from the palatine tonsils are sparse. Tonsillar polyp is an uncommon hamartomatous lesion that generally arises from the tonsillar surface. It has rarely been reported in the medical literature. We present a case of hamartomatous polyp of the palatine tonsil in a 17-year-old male patient.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4103\/njcp.njcp_338_16","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,7,3]],"date-time":"2017-07-03T23:31:48Z","timestamp":1499124708000},"page":"774-776","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Hamartomatous Polyp of the Tonsil: A Case Report"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"M","family":"Singh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of ENT, Government Medical College and Rajindra Hospital, Patiala, Punjab, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"DK","family":"Mundi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of ENT, Government Medical College and Rajindra Hospital, Patiala, Punjab, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"I","family":"Kaur","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of ENT, Government Medical College and Rajindra Hospital, Patiala, Punjab, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"A","family":"Kaur","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Surgery, Government Medical College and Rajindra Hospital, Patiala, Punjab, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,6,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"R1-20251006","first-page":"91","article-title":"Hamartomatous polyp of the tonsil\u2014a case report","volume":"9","author":"Wan Faiziah","year":"2014","journal-title":"Arch Orofac Sci"},{"key":"R2-20251006","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"87","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijporl.2009.08.017","article-title":"Bilateral lymphangiomatous polyps of the palatine tonsils","volume":"74","author":"Chen","year":"2010","journal-title":"Int J Pediatr Otorhinolaryngol"},{"key":"R3-20251006","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1128","DOI":"10.1038\/modpathol.3880208","article-title":"Tonsillar lymphangiomatous polyps: A clinicopathologic series of 26 cases","volume":"13","author":"Kardon","year":"2000","journal-title":"Mod Pathol"},{"key":"R5-20251006","first-page":"45","article-title":"A pedunculated hamartomatous polyp of the palatine tonsil","volume":"8","author":"Lyngdoh","year":"2013","journal-title":"Iran J Pathol"},{"key":"R6-20251006","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"961","DOI":"10.1177\/000348946006900401","article-title":"Lymphangioma of the tonsil","volume":"69","author":"Harrison","year":"1960","journal-title":"Ann Otol Rhinol Laryngol"},{"key":"R7-20251006","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"86","DOI":"10.4103\/0377-4929.44975","article-title":"Choristoma of the base of the tongue","volume":"52","author":"Naik","year":"2009","journal-title":"Indian J Pathol Microbiol"},{"key":"R8-20251006","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1089","DOI":"10.1017\/S0022215100118286","article-title":"Hamartomatous tonsillar polyp","volume":"105","author":"Shara","year":"1991","journal-title":"J Laryngol Otol"},{"key":"R9-20251006","first-page":"155","article-title":"A pedunculated hamartomatous polyp of the palatine tonsil","volume":"17","author":"Ohtsuki","year":"2006","journal-title":"Biomed Res"},{"key":"R10-20251006","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1073","DOI":"10.1017\/S0022215100125332","article-title":"Benign hamartomatous polyp of the palatine tonsil","volume":"107","author":"Lupovitch","year":"1993","journal-title":"J Laryngol Otol"}],"container-title":["Nigerian Journal of Clinical Practice"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ovid.com\/01253091-201720060-00020","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,14]],"date-time":"2026-08-14T16:25:04Z","timestamp":1786724704000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ovid.com\/01253091-201720060-00020"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2017,6]]},"references-count":9,"journal-issue":{"issue":"6","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2017]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4103\/njcp.njcp_338_16","relation":{},"ISSN":["1119-3077","2229-7731"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1119-3077","type":"print"},{"value":"2229-7731","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2017,6]]},"assertion":[{"value":"2017-02-28","name":"accepted","label":"Accepted","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}}]}}
