A clinically more common disease with a swollen lump of flesh in the throat is a tumor of the tonsils. Generally, for this condition, patients are advised to go to an ENT clinic for an examination of the oropharynx as well as the hypopharynx. The most common clinical conditions are the following: 1. tonsillar papilloma, which occurs unilaterally on the tonsils, may be caused by viral infections and other triggers, and manifests as a granular, unsmooth new organism on the surface of the unilateral tonsils. 2. tonsillar polyps, which also occur unilaterally, generally have a smooth surface. This condition is usually not obvious in the early stages, and when it grows, it may be uncomfortable to swallow. 3, the local edema of the throat, common local edema of the anterior arch or the uvula. This looks like the feeling of growing something.
