The aim of this study was to determine the topography of palatina tonsils and their relations to the regional lymph nodes. Eleven heads of the mongrel dogs were used as materials. Following infusion of the vessels with latex, 7 of the heads were dissected to observe the topographies of palatina tonsillae. India ink was injected in to the palatina tonsillae of the remaining 4 dogs which were under anesthesia. An half hour after the injection, animals were euthanasied and then formalin (10 % for-maldehyd) was infused through the common carotid artery. Following formalin infusion, latex was also injected via both arteries and veins. Based on the observations it was concluded that the palatina tonsillae drained into the median retropharyngeal lymph nodes via efferent lymphatics. Palatina tonsillae located in a position medially to the epihyoid bone under the median pterygoids a muscle, on the apices of the epiglottis, lateraly to the soft palate and the organ was 27.05 mm. in length, 4.89 mm in thickness and 8.34 mm in widthness on awerage. During the observations the location and relationships were olso fixed by photography.
