	Adenoid
		The adenoid is a lump of tissue at the back of the nose above the tonsils.
		The adenoid is a part of a group of lymph nodes that include the tonsils, found around the back of the throat (known as Waldeyer's ring).
		In most children, the adenoid enlarges normally during early childhood, when infections of the nose and throat are most common.

	Adenoid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Adenoids, or pharyngeal tonsils, are folds of lymphatic tissue covered by ciliated epithelium.
		Adenoids are part of the immune system as they trap inhaled viruses and produce antibodies, particularly in children.
		Enlarged adenoids can obstruct breathing through the nose, and it is common when this happens for them to be surgically removed in a procedure called adenoidectomy.

	Adenoid Enlargement/Adenoid Hypertrophy
		Although the exact function of adenoids is not understood, it may be related to some sort of protection from infection, but people can live normally without them.
		As a child grows, so do the adenoids, reaching their maximum size when the child is 10 to 12 years old.
		The decision to remove the adenoids must come from weighing the benefits of waiting for the adenoids to shrink on their own against the degree of disruption to a child's life and health.

		Central adenoid cystic carcinomas are rare malignancies that are believed to arise in ectopic salivary gland tissue within the maxilla or mandible.
		We describe the diagnosis and treatment of a central adenoid cystic carcinoma in a 54-year-old man, which we believe was a recurrence of an earlier growth that had not been completely excised.
		Adenoid cystic carcinoma is the most common minor salivary gland malignancy, comprising 42% of all such cancers.

		Adenoid cystic carcinoma is the most frequent large airway bronchial gland tumor, occurring in the trachea and bronchi.
		This microscopic appearance is identical to adenoid cystic carcinomas of the salivary gland and breast, and primary lesions in the lung cannot be distinguished from more common metastatic lesions on the basis of histopathologic features.
		However, the diagnosis of adenoid cystic carcinoma should be limited to tumors with only the predominance of the cytological and architectural features of adenoid cystic carcinoma (described earlier).

		Adenoid cystic carcinoma, first described as "cylindroma" by Billroth in 1859,[1] is a malignant tumor that is commonly classified with the salivary gland tumors, although it may arise in any site where mucous glands exist.
		Adenoid cystic carcinomas in the head and neck have been treated most frequently with surgical resection.[3] The combination of surgery with preoperative or postoperative irradiation improves both local control of disease and disease-free survival.[31-33] The rarity of lymph node metastasis[35] suggests that radical node dissection probably is unnecessary.

		Adenoids are lymphoid tissue located in the back of the nose.
		Although the tissue composition of adenoids is the same as that of the tonsils, the diseases associated with infected adenoids differ from the diseases associated with infected tonsils, based on their location.
		The 2 operations were routinely performed together beginning in the early part of the 1900s, when the tonsils and adenoids were considered reservoirs of infection that caused many different types of diseases.

		Tonsils and adenoids are masses of tissue that are similar to the lymph nodes or "glands" found in the neck, groin, and armpits.
		Adenoids are high in the throat behind the nose and above the roof of the mouth (soft palate) and are not visible through the mouth without special instruments.
		The two primary reasons for tonsil and/or adenoid removal are (1) recurrent infection despite antibiotic therapy and (2) difficulty breathing due to enlarged tonsils and/or adenoids.
