Abstract :

 A mass of histologically normal chondroid tissue in an abnormal location is defined as cartilaginous choristoma. It is a developmental anomaly of second pharyngeal arch , follows a benign course and can lead to recurrent tonsillitis. Here we are report two cases of middle aged females, both presented with recurrent episodes of tonsillitis. Tonsillectomy was performed. Histopathology revealed unexpected presence of islands of mature hyaline cartilage surrounded by lymphoid follicles along with areas of calcification.
