Lymphangiomatous polyps are rare benign lesions of the tonsils. We report the case of a female patient presenting with dysphagia of 15 years' standing due to such a lesion. After surgical excision the patient remained free of symptoms and experienced no recurrence (follow-up 17 months). The histology was characterized by epitheliotropism of lymphocytes as well as dilated lymphatic channels, blood vessels and edema. Immunohistochemical staining with D2-40 monoclonal antibody and podoplanin confirmed the diagnosis of lymphangiomatous polyps. We discuss the current literature.
