Abstract Lymphoid tissues, such as adenoids Ad and tonsils Tn , are suggested to undergo hypertrophy during childhood and involution in adulthood. Introduction Approximately 80 years ago, Scammon described 4 types of growth curves lymphoid, neural, general, and genital that represent human growth; this model is still used in various fields.

Therefore, a credible and simple method for assessing the sizes of the Ad and Tn is required. Results From a total of 23, Japanese patients who underwent lateral cephalometric radiography, 90 were retrospectively enrolled in this study Fig. Figure 1. Flowchart of the longitudinal observations in subjects. Full size image. Figure 2. Figure 3. Table 1 Mean and median size of the Ad. Full size table. Table 2 Mean and median size of the Tn.
