Fibroepithelial polyps represent a frequent cutaneous lesion of mesodermal origin, with a prevalence of 1.2% and are rarely located at palatine tonsils. We present a rare clinical report of a 70-year-old female patient with fibroepithelial polyp of palatine tonsil. This entity represents the eighth case of palatine tonsil fibroepithelial polyp in the English literature. She presented with a polypoid mass at the right tonsil and unspecified throat symptoms. Physicians should pay attention to such lesions because of the residual risk of malignant transformation, along with non-specific symptoms. Differential diagnosis was among neurofibroma, lipoma, squamous papilloma and fibroepithelial polyp. Histopathological examination following tonsillectomy showed a structure rich in vesicles inside lamina propria and surrounding inflammation, establishing the diagnosis of a fibroepithelial polyp. It requires vigilance during complete clinical examination, in order to detect masses at patients with throat symptoms that could have remained undiagnosed until they become even life threatening.

Article Synopsis
- Sacrococcygeal teratomas (SCT) are the most frequent tumors found outside the gonads in young children, but there's limited data on their clinical features and outcomes in the Philippines, as the existing studies have mostly come from other countries.* -
- This study was retrospective and collected data over four years from medical records, focusing on demographics, delivery methods, clinical presentations, tumor classifications, and surgical outcomes, including mortality, morbidity, and recurrence rates.* -
- Out of 29 patients analyzed, most were female, and many presented with a sacral or gluteal mass, but only a small percentage received an accurate prenatal ultrasound diagnosis; imaging methods were used to further evaluate the tumors, with
