    Abstract

    Tonsilloliths, also referred to as tonsillar concretions or simplyliths, develop when calcium deposits form on shed cells and bacteria grow within the tonsillar or adenoidal crypts. Other proposed mechanisms include the presence of ectopic tonsillartissue or the calcification of minor salivary gland ducts, possibly leading to the formation of calculi or calcification of peritonsillar abscesses
