ABSTRACT

Chondrolipomas are benign mesenchymal tumors that have two mature tissues simultaneously and emerge as a result of cartilaginous metaplasia in lipomas. They rarely occur in the head and neck area (1%-4%), and occur more frequently in the 60-70 years age group. Although there are cases of the nasopharynx, tongue, lip, and neck reported in the literature, we have been able to find only two cases on tonsils. The case of a 17-year-old male patient, who presented to our clinic complaining of dysphagia and was diagnosed with tonsillar chondrolipoma, is described here, along with the radiological, clinical, and immunohistochemical findings, as well as the review of the literature

ÖZET

Kondrolipomlar lipomların içinde kıkırdak metaplazisi meydana gelmesi sonucu görülen, iki matür dokuyu aynı anda barındıran benign mezenkimal tümörlerdir. Baş boyun bölgesinde oldukça nadir olup (%1-4), sıklıkla 60-70 yaş arasında görülmektedir. Literatürde nazofarenks, dil, dudakta ve boyunda bildirilen olgular olmakla birlikte, tonsillerde bildirilmiş şu ana kadar bizim saptayabildiğimiz yalnızca iki olgu mevcuttur. Kliniğimize disjfaji yakınması ile başvuran ve tonsilde kondrolipom tanısı alan 17 yasında erkek hasta, radyolojik, klinik ve immünohistokimyasal bulguları ile birlikte literatür eşliğinde sunulmuştur.
