[Pharyngeal keratosis].
A case of keratosis pharyngis is presented. This disease is infrequent, benign and of etiology unknown. Clinically present horny outgrowths in the lymphatic tissue of the pharynx, but without symptoms. The horny projections sooner or later disappear spontaneously in months or years, however tonsillectomy seems to be indicated in all cases in which the symptoms are worrying the patient, who present an evident "cancerophobia" frequent symptom of this disease.
