摘要
扁桃體腫瘤多是惡性，良性腫瘤較不常見，而扁桃體息肉有是少見。長庚紀醫院自1991年至今，共經歷4例扁桃體息肉病例。其中3例無臨床症狀，另1例則主訴吞嚥時喉嚨有異物感。他們的治療方式可利用電刀或二氧化碳雷射將息肉自莖部切除，若懷疑扁桃體息肉有惡性的可能，或病患併有慢性扁桃體炎時，可施行扁桃體切除術將息肉及扁桃體一併切除。4例之病理切片顯示其具有複層鱗狀上皮細胞的包膜，其中3例內部為不等成分的淋巴組織及纖維組織，另1例則有脂肪細胞。4例於手術後扁桃體息肉均無再發。

扁桃體息肉並列摘要
Most neoplasms of the palatine tonsil are malignant. Benign tumors are rare and polyps are uncommon. Four cases of palatine tonsillar polyps presented to CGMH since 1991. One case complained of a lump in the throat while swallowing for 5 months, the others were asymptomatic. Polyps were excised from pedicle with CO2 laser and electrocautery on 2 cases. Tonsillectomy was performed on the other two cases. The histopathological examination revealed abundant but variable amounts of lymphoid tissue and fibrous tissue in the storma which was covered by stratified squamous epithelium. Fatty cell was also found in one of the cases. No recurrence have been noted 3 months after operation.
