| Popis: |
We present a case report of a 60-year-old female with a right-sided giant tonsillolith, presenting as an oropharyngeal mass. We document the patient's relevant history and clinical examination, imaging, and operative findings. Giant tonsilloliths should warrant surgical excision and tonsillectomy, with specimens sent for pathological examination to ensure that the oral cavity masses are indeed calcified material. The patient's condition significantly improved after removal of the mass. |
