cecal tonsil
Clinical description:
The cecal tonsil has been opened to show the mucosa. It’s important to examine this area closely for lesions. In inflammatory or neoplastic disease, the cecal tonsils may become enlarged and mottled red and tan. In some viral infections, this lymphoid tissue may become necrotic, causing the tonsils to become red.
