Abstract
A leiomyoma is a remarkably rare cause of a benign, one-side tonsillar enlargement. The diagnosis is essentially histologic and will not normally be suspected clinically. Immunohistochemistry is needed for substantiation of the morphology and confirmation. We submit this illustrative case report.
期刊介绍：
The journal will cover studies related to pathology including morbid anatomy, surgical pathology, clinical pathology, diagnostic cytopathology including gynecologic cytology and aspiration cytology, hematology including immuno-hematology and medical microbiology. The journal gives preference to clinically oriented studies over experimental and animal studies. The Journal would publish peer-reviewed original research papers, case reports, systematic reviews, meta-analysis, letters to the editor and brief communications. Review articles on current topics usually are invited by the editor.
