A 13-year-old male neutered Labradoodle presented with a 1-year history of gagging, retching, coughing, and stridor. Physical examination revealed large pedunculated tonsillar masses, confirmed by CT imaging to be obstructing the upper airway, and concurrent laryngeal paralysis. The larger mass, originating from the left tonsillar crypt, extended into the nasopharynx, while a smaller mass was identified on the right. A bilateral tonsillectomy was performed, histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of tonsillar polyps and postoperative recovery was uneventful. Based on our literature research, this is the first reported case of bilateral tonsillar polyps in a dog described on CT.

A hamartoma is a benign tumor that arises from the disorganized proliferation of tissue and can occur anywhere in the body. Hamartomas are notably found in the lung, skin, heart, brain, and breast, while their occurrence in the head and neck is rare. We describe a case involving a 17-year-old male patient who presented with a mass in a unilateral palatine tonsil, discovered incidentally.

Article Synopsis
- * Researchers found that NP B cells expressing the extrafollicular marker EBI2 had a higher propensity for autoantibody production and that NP ASCs were more common than those in tonsils.
- * Analysis showed significant differences in the composition and molecular characteristics of B cells, indicating that NP EBI2+ ASCs produce more total and anti-dsDNA IgG and exhibit traits of mature plasma cells.

Introduction: The adenoids and palatine tonsils, part of the lymphoid tissue, act as a first line of defense protecting the lower airways and gastrointestinal tract. Adenotonsillar hypertrophy in children may lead to airway obstruction. This study aims to demonstrate the association between adenotonsillar hypertrophy and decreased blood oxygen saturation.

Nasopharyngeal dermoid tumors, or hairy polyps, are rare benign congenital malformations of bigerminal origin with both ectodermal and mesodermal elements. It is often seen in the neonatal period and can lead to respiratory distress and/or feeding disorders. Tonsillectomy is defined as a surgical procedure that completely removes the tonsil, including its capsule, by dissecting the peritonsillar space between the tonsil capsule and muscular wall.
