چکیده

Aim: to study histomorphological changes in hypertrophied tonsils in children and to co-relate the extent of these changes to the tonsillar hypertrophy.methods: enlarged tonsils from thirty children with obstructive airway symptoms were obtained after tonsillectomy. normal tonsils were obtained from 10 children's at autopsy.results: in hypertrophied tonsils size,weight,epithelium and lymphoid compartment,all were affected. it was observed that there was an increase in thickness and keratinization of epithelium,increase in size of germinal centers,decrease in no of lymphoid follicles due to increase in size.conclusion: hypertrophic changes are probably immunological response to exposure to different antigens in an exaggerated manner and obstructive symptoms may lead to complications,sometimes fatal. measures should be devised to prevent or treat tonsillar hypertrophy. © 2014 pakistan journal of medical and health sciences. all rights reserved.
