Lymphangiomatous polyp of the palatine tonsil is a rare, benign hamartamotous lesion. 1 The exact incidence in the general population is uncertain, but is thought to be higher than expected. This may be due to these lesions being incompletely identified or reported. 5 They are generally seen in early adulthood. They are much more rarely reported in childhood, and are frequently unilateral. 1,6,7
