RESUMEN

Syphilis, a chronic systemic infection caused by Treponema pallidum, is usually sexually transmitted and characterized by episodes of active disease interrupted by a latent period. After an incubation period of averaging 2-6 weeks, a primary syphilis with a firm, non-tender chancre appears, often associated with regional lymphadenopathy. Secondary syphilis shows localized or diffuse mucocutaneous lesions and generalized non-tender lymphadenopathy. In about onethird of untreated cases, the tertiary stage appears, characterized by progressive destructive mucocutaneous, musculoskeletal or parenchymal lesions, aortitis or symptomatic central nervous system diseases. Without serological testing, the precise diagnosis is very difficult. In fact, it has often been called the great imitator because it was often confused with other disease. We report a very unusual case of luetic lymphadenitis presented as a solitary submandibular mass.

RESUMEN

Tonsillar lymphangiomatous polyp is an uncommon hamartomatous lesion that generally arises from the tonsillar surface. Due to the uncommon clinical and pathological features of these polyps, pathologist and clinician may experience difficulty in correctly classifying them. Although this is a rare clinical and pathologic entity for pathologists and clinicians, the diagnosis is not so difficult if one has a bit of experience about that. Recently, we experienced a 37-year-old women with a pale lymphangiomatous polyp of 3x1.5 cm size, which was treated by tonsillectomy. We report this case with a review of literature.
