    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Hematology

    Background:

    • Spontaneous tonsillar hemorrhage is a rare clinical event.
    • Previous literature exclusively associates this condition with Infectious Mononucleosis (IM).

    Observation:

    • Two distinct cases of spontaneous tonsillar hemorrhage were observed.
    • Patients presented with significant tonsillar bleeding.

    Findings:

    • Infectious Mononucleosis was definitively ruled out in both cases.
    • The etiology of tonsillar hemorrhage in these patients was not IM.

    Implications:

    • Challenges the established association between spontaneous tonsillar hemorrhage and Infectious Mononucleosis.
    • Suggests the need to investigate other potential causes for tonsillar bleeding.
