Abstract

Tonsilloliths, also known as tonsil stones or tonsillar calculi are clusters of calcified material that form in crypts of palatine tonsil. They are usually of small size. Large or giant tonsilloliths are rare. We report a case of giant tonsillolith in left palatine tonsil and literature is reviewed.

Keywords: Tonsillolith, Tonsil stone.
