“…The present case, in which the two basic tissues of a tonsil participate in the lesion, appears to support this hypothesis so that we regard it as a rare or unique example of a hamartomatous polyp of the palatine tonsil with its origin in a second branchial arch derivative or remnant.

A rare and possibly unique benign polypoid tumour of the palatine tonsil is described. It contained the two basic tissue types of the tonsil–lymphoid and epithelial–in the characteristic close anatomical relationship of tonsillar tissue. The features of this rare lesion lend support to the hypothesis that benign tumours of the tonsil may be hamartomas of tonsil or branchiogenic remnants rather than true neoplasms.

“…1962; Gerberi and Cotelingam, 1982). Based upon the predominent tissue component, various analogous lesions have been reported as fibroma (Hara, 1933;McKibben et al, 1958;Das, 1969), fibroadenolipoma (Friend, 1926), or fibrolipoma (Douglas, 1961). However, their structure differs from that of the lymphangiectatic fibrous polyp.…”
