Özet

Kondrolipomlar lipomların içinde kıkırdak metaplazi- si meydana gelmesi sonucu görülen, iki matür dokuyu aynı anda barındıran benign mezenkimal tümörler- dir. Baş boyun bölgesinde oldukça nadir olup (%1-4), sıklıkla 60-70 yaş arasında görülmektedir. Literatürde nazofarenks, dil, dudakta ve boyunda bildirilen olgu- lar olmakla birlikte, tonsillerde bildirilmiş şu ana kadar bizim saptayabildiğimiz yalnızca iki olgu mevcuttur. Kliniğimize disjfaji yakınması ile başvuran ve tonsilde kondrolipom tanısı alan 17 yasında erkek hasta, rad- yolojik, klinik ve immünohistokimyasal bulguları ile birlikte literatür eşliğinde sunulmuştur.
