Abstract

Tonsillectomy with or without adenoidectomy is one of the most common surgical procedures performed in pediatric population. The indications for adenotonsillectomy include such as recurrent infection, peritonsillar abscesses, adenoid or tonsillar hypertrophy with obstruction, swallowing or speech abnormalities, severe orofacial or dental abnormalities, and suspected benign or malignant neoplasms. Lymphoma is the most seen tonsillar neoplasm in childhood, whereas squamous cell carcinoma is the most seen tonsillar neoplasm in adults. Although adenoid and tonsillar malignancy or granulomatosis diseases are seen rarely, histopatological evaluation of the all tissues extracted by surgery, are performed because of the fact that concern about overlook these disease and medicolegal reasons. Histopatological evaluation of adenoid and tonsils do not change the clinical outcomes. Furthermore it is financial burden for the developing countries and the evaluation process is time-consuming for the pathologist. Many studies were performed about this subject. Some of these studies adenoid and tonsils, however if some situations including progressive hypertrophy of unilateral or bilateral tonsils, cervical lymphadenopathy, lesion in the tonsils or firmness with palpation, history of malignancy and systemic symptoms concerning malignancy, are existing, the histopatological evaluation should be performed.

Özet

Adenotonsillektomi endikasyonları, kronik enfeksiyonlar, peritonsiller abse, obstruksiyona yol açan adenoid veya tonsil hipertrofisi, yutma veya konuşma güçlüğüne ve çene ve diş anormalliklerine yol açacak derecede bu dokuların hipertrof'ıleri ve benign veya malign tümör şüphesini içermektedir. Çocuklarda en sık görülen tonsil tümörü lenfoma iken, yetişkinlerde en sık görülen tonsil tümörü skuamöz hücreli karsinomadır. Adenoid ve tonsil maligniteleri veya granülamatöz hastalıkları nadir görülmesine rağmen bu hastalıkları gözden kaçırma endişesi ve medikolegal sebepler nedeniyle birçok klinikte cerrahi olarak çıkartılan tüm dokuların histopatolojik incelenmesi yapılmaktadır. Adenoid ve tonsillerin histopatolojik incelenmeleri genellikle klinik sonucu değiştirmemektedir. Ayrıca gelişmekte olan ülkelerin ekonomisi için maddi bir yük ve patologlar için zaman alan bir işlemdir. Bununla ilgili birçok çalışma yapılmıştır. Bu çalışmaların bir kısmı sadece çocuk veya yetişkinlerde yapılırken, bir kısmı da hem çocuk hem de yetişkinleri kapsamaktadır. Çocuklarda adenoid ve tonsil dokularının histopatolojik inceleme sonuçlarında malinite görülme oranı %0-0.18 arasında bulunurken, yetişkinlerde malignite görülme oranı %0-2.04 arasında saptanmıştır. Sonuç olarak, adenoid ve tonsillerin rutin histopatolojik incelenmesine gerek olmayıp, tek veya çift taraflı tonsilin progresif büyümesi, servikal lenfadenopati, tonsilde kitle veya palpasyonda sertlik, malinite hikâyesi ve maliniteyi düşündüren sistemik semptomlar varsa adenoid ve tonsil dokularının histopatolojik tetkiki yapılmalıdır.
