The last tonsil that I saw like that was a plasmacytoma. Did well for several months.

Definitely remove. Apart from the info from histo it will have limited the airway significantly

That’s what we figured- it’s in a pot. I’ll let you all know. Thanks for your input. I so value these forums

Definitely advise removal - you're not going to know what it is without histopathology, and even if it is benign, it's going to start affecting the airway and/or swallowing if it gets much bigger.

Remove and submit for histopathology.

If it's entirely benign and non-neoplastic, well, now you know for certain and you've removed it anyway.

If it's not entirely benign, well, now you've got your warning, you haven't made it worse and you know to monitor closely and consider further treatment.
