ABSTRACT
An angioleiomyoma was excised from the palatine tonsil in a 30-year-old woman who complained of a painless swelling in the region of the tonsil. The mucosa covering the lesion showed prominent dilated blood vessels, necessitating vascular laboratory investigations to exclude any possibility of an aneurysm arising from the carotid system. The mass was excised with little blood loss. This was an uncommon tumour in an unusual site and required radio-imaging and angiographic studies of the great vessels of the head and neck before any operation was attempted. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case reported in English.
