人体的扁桃体也可以形成异物,大多数以结石的形式存在,以老年人为多见,结石系放线菌、丝状菌、剥脱的扁桃体上皮细胞、粘脓液、血液、异物等有机物质为基础,经碳酸、磷酸钙沉着后形成,也含有少量的钠、钾、镁等元素。扁桃体结石一般只有米粒大小,而我曾看到过一枚罕见的结石,是在病人摘除的扁桃体中剖出来的,大小达1.5厘米×1.5厘米,算是扁桃体中的巨大异物了。 The body’s tonsils can also form foreign bodies. Most of them are in the form of stones. They are more common in the elderly. They are based on actinomycete, filamentous bacteria, exfoliated tonsil epithelial cells, mucopurulent fluid, blood, foreign matter and other organic substances. It is formed after carbonic acid and calcium phosphate are precipitated and contains a small amount of sodium, potassium, magnesium and other elements. Tonsillar stones are usually only the size of rice grains, and I have seen a rare stone that was cut out in the tonsils removed by the patient. The size is 1.5 cm × 1.5 cm, which is a huge foreign body in the tonsils.
