Abstract :
A choriostoma is an aggregate of microscopically normal cells or tissues which occurs
in an aberrant location. It follows a benign course, rarely seen in head and neck
region. A choriostoma of the palatine tonsil is very rare; less than 10 cases were reported
till date. A 11-year-old male referred to ENT OPD with chronic tonsillitis and
underwent tonsillectomy. The histopathological examination revealed the unexpected
presence of cartilage and bone in both tonsils
