Abstract
The palatine tonsil is a lymphatic structure, part of the pharyngeal ring described by Waldayer. Anatomically, we can discover the palatine tonsils into the palatine fossa of the oro-pharynx, but sometimes in current medical practice we encounter a bilateral hypertrophy of the tonsils which can get very close to one another. Unilateral hypertrophy of the palatine tonsil is not so common in practice and has a wide etiology. The authors try to make an up-to-date of the causes of unilateral hypertrophy, focusing on the different therapeutic modalities on each specific pathology.
