The tonsil cyst is a benign tumor that forms in people with a chronic form of tonsillitis and adenoids. A similar pathology is of benign origin. But the surgical method of therapy is most often used here. If excess tissue growth occurs, the cyst will take on a malignant nature. In addition, the presence of a cyst creates certain difficulties with swallowing and breathing, leading to exacerbation of chronic ENT diseases.

What this means andcode of the ICD 10
The cyst is a cavity within which fluid is contained. Since it is benign, it does not affect adjacent tissues and does not take on impressive dimensions. The formation of a cyst on the tonsils can occur inside or outside the lymphoid organ.
Moreover, the cyst is often combined with chronic tonsillitis, which is characterized by purulent plugs. Recognizing the cyst for symptoms is not always possible, so for a long time a person can safely live without suspecting the presence of a cyst.
The cause of cyst formation on the tonsils is the presence of a slow infectious process. Sometimes the neoplasm is congenital in nature, and it can be detected when the child is examined by a pediatrician.
Other reasons may influence the development of the pathological process:
- hormonal imbalance;
- decreased immunity;
- chronic diseases of the nasopharynx;
- untreated tonsillitis of acute form.
According to the international classification of diseases, cysts on the tonsils have such code for the ICD C09.9.
What can be cysts
Cysts that have affected the tonsils can be dermoid and retentive. Only the otolaryngologist will be able to understand the type of neoplasm when examined. Retention cysts are characterized by thin thin walls, which are easily damaged and opened with the withdrawal of the contents outside. They are presented in the form of a ball, and their walls are so soft that they are shifted to the side. Dermoid cysts have a more dense structure and most often they are congenital.
In addition, cysts are classified according to which amygdala they are struck with. Thus, it is possible to distinguish the cyst of the palatine and pharyngeal tonsils.

Surgical treatment of
When conservative methods of therapy failed to produce positive results, the doctor decides to perform an operation to remove the cyst. During the autopsy, the doctor removes pus and mucus, and then processes the site of concentration with antiseptic solutions.
But when using such treatment there is no guarantee of relapse, the method of surgical intervention remains the most effective. Features of the operation are determined taking into account the size of the lesion, as well as the location of its localization.
If the cyst is located on the surface, and the patient himself turned in a timely manner for help, then after performing the operation he does not need to be in the hospital.
Any operation is under anesthesia. In this case, it is worth using local, so the pain in the operation is insignificant. One-sided tonsillectomy is performed if the cyst has become larger or begins to grow inside the glands.

When the doctor removed a large cyst, the rehabilitation period involves washing the throat with antiseptic drugs and taking antibacterial drugs. If the operation was serious, the patient was left in the hospital for 3 days, and antibiotics were prescribed.
Treatment without surgery
If the pathological process is not in the stage of neglect, then you can cope with it with the help of conservative techniques.
In the picture - the location of the tonsils
There are two ways to rinse the throat. For the first use a syringe, with which a medicated solution is injected into the tonsils. But the second method is based on pumping a purulent build-up by means of a vacuum. Applying the first method, an injury may occur, which can cause subsequent cyst formation. It is best to conduct such events at home. For these purposes I can use various solutions.
The most commonly used solution is furatsilina. For its preparation, it is necessary to dissolve 2 tablets in 200 ml of hot water. Rinse with a warm cloth. To do this, it will have to be armed with a syringe, which will be completely filled with solutions. The jet is directed to the indentation on the tonsils. It is necessary to carry out such manipulation very often.
If you do not like the method with a syringe, you can impregnate the amygdala solution with a cotton pad. In doing so, do this with a large push, removing the plaque. Do this several times until the fleece is clean after handling the tonsils.
In this case, you can use a salt solution. It has a powerful antibacterial effect. To obtain a solution, it is necessary to use sea salt, dissolved with 200 ml of water. In addition to pharmacy solutions for gargling, you can use decoctions of medicinal herbs. This includes:
- oak bark,

For cooking, you can take not one, but just two herbs. Take each of 10 grams and pour 400 ml of boiling water. When the broth cools down, filter it and use it to treat the tonsils, using a cotton ball or syringe. Use herbal decoctions for rinsing as much as you like, as this will lead to a speedy recovery.

Features of the treatment of children
The cyst on the tonsils can also be diagnosed in the child. Treatment has its own characteristics, and the doctor can appoint it after a thorough diagnosis.
Laser removal of
This method of removing neoplasm is considered one of the most effective and newest. The main advantages of manipulation are:
- minimal tissue trauma;
- has a direct effect on the cyst, but the nearby organs are not amenable to injury;
- no pain after the procedure;
- can be performed by a child.
Only small lesions can be removed using a laser. The procedure is performed under anesthesia. As for the minuses, he is here alone - this is a high price.
Puncture
This treatment option for small patients is based on the puncture of the neoplasm and pumping out fluid from it. Performed with small build-ups. Puncture does not apply to effective therapies, since the walls of the build-up remain in the throat and there is a high probability of repeated injury.
Surgical treatment of
If the symptoms that occur with the tonsil cyst are life-threatening to the patient, the doctor decides to perform the operation. Its essence is to remove the build-up through a cut on the neck. The procedure is different in complexity and traumatic, but it can be used to remove large cysts.

When the build-up is small and does not affect the functioning of voice and respiratory functions, it is possible to supplement conservative treatment with the following methods:
- Throat washing with herbal decoction or furacilin.
- You can gargle with a decoction of needles of pine and oak bark.
- The composition of burdock and honey can be taken inside.
- Irrigate the throat with a tincture of white mushrooms diluted with water.
The cyst on the amygdala is a serious pathological process that prevents a person from eating, drinking and talking normally. If the build-up is small, then you can try to eliminate it with conservative therapy. But the surgeon will be able to fight with large cysts during the operation. Otherwise, there is a risk of developing a malignant tumor.
