  • Title: The lingual tonsil. A neglected symptomatic structure?
    Author: Golding-Wood DG, Whittet HB.
    Journal: J Laryngol Otol; 1989 Oct; 103(10):922-5. PubMed ID: 2584852.
    Abstract:
    Surgical treatment of the lingual tonsil is seldom performed because problems attributable to chronic lingual tonsillar hypertrophy are infrequently diagnosed. We have reviewed a series of 25 patients with symptoms from enlarged lingual tonsils. The variety of presentation of lingual tonsillar lesions and the methods of surgical treatment are discussed.
