- W4317778889 abstract "We aim to evaluate our experience of tonsil biopsies in the investigation of patients presenting with asymmetrical tonsils.A two-centre retrospective analysis of all patients who underwent histology sampling of the palatine tonsils between 1 January 2013 and 31 December 2018 was completed. Data collected included patient demographics, method of obtaining tonsil tissue, histological diagnosis and need for repeat tissue sampling. A follow-up period of 36 months was allowed to establish whether any patients re-presented with missed diagnoses.In total, 937 patients were included for analysis: 375 (40.0%) had a biopsy, of which 191 (50.9%) were performed in clinic. The mean duration from initial appointment with the ear, nose and throat clinic to tissue sample collection was 17.6 days (range 0-327 days) for all biopsies, reducing to 0.2 days (range 0-17 days) for biopsies performed in clinic. This was significantly shorter than for tonsillectomies (mean 38.9 days, range 0-444 days; p<0.05). Of the patients who underwent tonsil biopsy, six (1.6%) had malignancy that was not unequivocally diagnosed on initial biopsy. In all six patients, prior clinical suspicion was high, and repeat tissue sampling was undertaken on receipt of negative histology results.Tonsil biopsy is a viable alternative to tonsillectomy for histology in the assessment of tonsil asymmetry. Tonsil biopsy in the outpatient setting has reduced surgical morbidity, significantly less delay in diagnosis, less inconvenience for patients and lower healthcare costs compared with formal tonsillectomy. Although tonsil biopsies should not be used in isolation, they can be useful in the investigation of patients presenting with tonsillar asymmetry." @default.
