Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to describe a very unusual example of a congenital mass of the soft palate. To underline how important, it is to rule out the possibility of a congenital soft palate mass in children who have had episodes of choking or who have trouble eating. Methods: A case study was performed by Department of ENT, Andhra Medical College from December 2021 to November 2022; of a rare occurrence of congenital soft palate mass in 5 year old baby, where excision biopsy was done. Result: Biopsies reveal squamous epithelium-lined mature cartilage. There was no sign of cancer. Residual cartilage from meckel (hyaline cartilage) Conclusion: According to the biopsy result and clinical correlation, this mass is most certainly a "congenital remnant of meckel's cartilage".
