OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to evaluate correlations between throat-related symptoms and histological findings in adults with @entity102 . MATERIALS AND METHODS: A prospective cohort study was carried out. Throat-related symptoms (complaints, @entity5389 rate, and pharyngeal findings) of 81 adults with histologically proven @entity102 followed by tonsillectomy were analyzed. Four types of histological changes in removed tonsils were determined: (1) pure @entity1373 , (2) @entity32 , (3) @entity32 with @entity1373 , (4) @entity32 with @entity2318 / @entity82 . The power of correlation was tested using the Pearson contingency coefficient (CC). RESULTS: Recurrent @entity281 were the most common complaint (74.1%). The @entity5389 rate was 3.6 (SD 1.9) episodes per year. Tonsillar cryptic debris (61.7%) and @entity450 of the anterior pillars (59.3%) were the most common pharyngeal findings. @entity32 with @entity1373 was predominant (38.3%) histological type of @entity102 . The statistically significant correlations between histological type and @entity5389 rate >= 3 times per year with cryptic debris (CC=0.346; P=0.010) and cryptic debris alone (CC=0.294; P=0.051) were detected. CONCLUSIONS: Assessment of throat-related symptoms is complementary to histological examination in adults with @entity102 .
