ABSTRACT
A hamartoma is a benign tumor that arises from the disorganized proliferation of tissue and can occur anywhere in the body. Hamartomas are notably found in the lung, skin, heart, brain, and breast, while their occurrence in the head and neck is rare. We describe a case involving a 17-year-old male patient who presented with a mass in a unilateral palatine tonsil, discovered incidentally. The patient was treated with tonsillectomy and, after pathological review, was diagnosed with a hamartomatous polyp of the palatine tonsil. Our case report highlights this rare benign neoplasm and presents a review of the literature.
