title: Pleomorphic lipoma of the tonsillar fossa--a case report.
abstract: Pleomorphic lipoma is a benign adipocytic tumor, commonly located in the shoulder and posterior neck region. The presence of bizarre, hyperchromatic stromal cells along with multinucleated giant cells often poses difficulty in diagnosis, especially when it arises at an unusual site like tonsillar fossa.
