Abstract

Fibroepithelial polyps (FEPs) are benign non-epithelial tumors arising from mesodermal tissue and are commonly seen on the skin and genitourinary system. FEPs are rarely seen in otorhinolaryngology. FEP of tonsil is extremly rare. The etiology is not clear but may involve chronic infection, trauma and allergic factors. Although FEPs are benign, they can be malignant in very rarely cases. We have herein reported a unusual case of a FEP of tonsil symptom presentation with a hemoptysis.
Keywords: fibroepithelial polyp , hemoptysis , tonsilla palatina , benign tumor

Özet

Fibroepitelyal polipler (FEP) daha çok ciltte ve genitoüriner sistemde görülen, mezodermden kaynaklanan benign non-epitelyal tümördür. Fibroepitelyal polipler, otorinolaringolojide nadiren görülmektedir. Tonsilin fibroepitelyal polibi ise çok çok nadir görülür. Etyoloji açık değildir ancak kronik enfeksiyon, travma ve alerjik nedenleri içerebilir. FEPs, benign olmasına rağmen çok nadiren malign olabilir. Burada hemoptizi ile semptom veren çok nadir tonsilin FEP olgusunu sunduk.
