Lymphangiomatous polyps of the palatine tonsil are a rare clinical entity with only about 30 odd cases ever reported. All the cases in the literature were described as unilateral tonsillar diseases, except for one paediatric case which had bilateral tonsillar involvement. Due to its unilateral presentation and suspicious appearance similar to tonsillar malignancy, lymphangiomatous polyps may cause heightened anxiety to both patients and doctors alike on a routine oropharyngeal examination. Owing to its rarity and a variety of complex nomenclatures, this condition may also be confusing to the treating otolaryngologist as well as junior pathologist. We report an extremely rare case of bilateral tonsillar lymphangiomatous polyps in a snoring child that was successfully treated surgically via tonsillectomy.

Polipy o charakterze naczyniaka chłonnego migdałka podniebiennego są w praktyce klinicznej odnotowywane bardzo rzadko – dotychczas opisano jedynie około 30 przypadków. Zazwyczaj stwierdzano jednostronne zmiany w obrębie migdałka podniebiennego, tylko u jednego dziecka migdałki były zajęte obustronnie. Polipy o charakterze naczyniaka chłonnego mogą budzić zaniepokojenie pacjenta oraz lekarza ze względu na umiejscowienie po jednej stronie oraz wygląd przypominający nowotwór migdałka. Zważywszy na rzadkość występowania oraz różnorodność nazewnictwa jednostka ta może być również trudna do rozpoznania zarówno dla otolaryngologa, jak i niedoświadczonego patologa. Przedstawiamy niezwykle rzadki przypadek obustronnych polipów migdałka o charakterze naczyniaka chłonnego u dziecka z problemem chrapania, u którego skuteczny okazał się zabieg tonsillektomii.
