The clinical signs and histopathological findings were reviewed. All patients exhibited similar complaints with recurrent tonsillitis, sore throat, dysphasia, high temperature, and enlarged tonsils. After surgery, the tonsils was submitted to histopathological study and showed “grains” in the crypts in 6 cases. Four cases (2.4%) of Actinomyces and two (1.2%) of Botryomyces were identified.
