Tonsillar carcinoma is the type of squamous cell carcinoma. It is the most common tumour of the oropharyngeal carcinomas. Incidence of the tonsillar carcinoma is most common in the elderly people. Based on the number of tonsillar growth, tonsillar carcinoma is focused on this study to create an awareness of the tonsillar carcinoma, hygienic habits to follow to prevent carcinoma in the future. The main aim of the study is to analyse the tonsil cases and to interpret the incidence of the tonsillar squamous cell carcinoma over the two year period in the tertiary care centre. About 525 tonsillar tissues were obtained from the Department of Pathology, Sri Ramachandra Institute of Higher Education and research, Chennai over the two year period .From the above tonsil tissue samples , study was done to evaluate the incidence of the tonsillar carcinoma. Out of these, few cases were reported with unilateral enlarged growth of the tonsil, after fine needle aspiration cytology , (FNAC) which has been diagnosed with tonsillar squamous cell carcinoma with four varieties. Out of these four cases of tonsillar carcinoma , one case was well differentiated squamous cell carcinoma and other three cases were moderately differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. The case study was mainly done to know the incidence of tonsillar carcinoma. Finding out the incidence of these tonsillar squamous cell carcinoma cases will be helpful in the future to create awareness of the tonsillar squamous cell carcinoma and hygienic habits to follow and prevent carcinoma in the future.
