- Abstract
- The tonsillolith is a white or yellow colored calcified lesion that forms in the crypts of the palatine tonsil. Small tonsilloliths are frequently found on tonsils, while giant tonsilloliths are a rare clinical entity. We had a 35-years old female patient, who presented throat discomfort due to a giant tonsillolith. The stone was removed and tonsillectomy was performed. We reviewed the literature on this rare clinical entity.
