Abstract
Choristoma is a condition in which histologically an island of normal tissue occurs in an abnormal location. Here we report a case of cartilaginous choristoma of palatine tonsil, in a patient who underwent tonsillectomy for chronic tonsillitis. Histological examination demonstrated the unexpected presence of a mature island of hyaline cartilage surrounded by lymphoid tissue of tonsil.
