Intraoral inspection revealed a 0.5 cm, asymptomatic, light yellow-white hued, smooth, raised, soft on palpation, movable, well-circumscribed, unilateral, localized submucosal nodule, exhibiting no exudate arising from the normal-sized left palatine tonsil (Figure 1).
At eight-month follow-up visit, the yellow nodule in the left palatine tonsil completely disappeared.
