Tonsilloliths, also known as tonsil stones, are clusters of calcified material that form in the tonsillar crypts, the crevices of the tonsils. While they occur most commonly in the palatine tonsils, they may also occur in the lingual tonsils. Tonsilloliths have been recorded weighing from 0.3g to 42g.
There still exists much debate as to how they begin to form, but it is known dead cells, mucus, and food get trapped in the crevices of the tonsil and harden, or âcalcify.â The stones usually range from as small as a rice grain to as big as a pea, but they rarely pose a health threat.
