抄録

Although palatine tonsillar cyst is no longer considered uncommon, giant cysts presented with clinical manifestations are still rare. We report our experience with a case of giant palatine tonsillar cyst.<BR>A 74-year old male patient entered our hospital with a complaint of throat discomfort. A yellow-white cyst originating in the lower pole of the left palatine tonsil was noted. Under general anesthesia, the left tonsil was resected en bloc with the cyst. The excised cyst was 2.7×2.3×2.3 cm in size and contained yellowish mucous secreta.<BR>Histopathological examination revealed that the cyst wall was lined with stratified squamous epithelium, and that the cyst contained an eosinophilic, amorphous substance. The crypts of the tonsil were swollen and filled with inflammatory cells and bacterial colonies. Some crypts were swollen, cyst-like, and filled with material similar to that found in the cyst. These findings led to diagnosis of a cyst secondary to the obstruction of crypts as a result of inflammation.<BR>We also review the case of palatine tonsillar cyst reported in Japan and discuss their etiology with a review of the literature.
