title: [Adenoids in adults].
abstract: 127 patients with adenoids aged 15-48 years were treated. Adenoids in the adults have some special clinical features, they frequently arise in the presense of nasal pathology (septal defects, hypertrophy of the turbinated bones), simulate nasopharyngeal tumors. Adenotomy in adults should be made in hospital. Its technique differs in some details from this operation in children.
