3: Hypertrophy of tonsils with hypertrophy of adenoids.
ICD-10 code J35. 1 for Hypertrophy of tonsils is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the respiratory system .
‌Tonsillar hypertrophy is when you or your child's tonsils become swollen. Enlarged tonsils are a common condition, more likely to happen in children. Surgery to remove the tonsils might be required depending on how large they become. This is called a tonsillectomy.
Adenoid hypertrophy is an obstructive condition related to an increased size of the adenoids. The condition can occur with or without an acute or chronic infection of the adenoids. The adenoids are a collection of lymphoepithelial tissue in the superior aspect of the nasopharynx medial to the Eustachian tube orifices.

Enlarged tonsils and adenoids are also referred to as tonsillitis, adenoiditis, or tonsil and adenoid hypertrophy. A child with enlarged tonsils and adenoids may have a sore throat, trouble swallowing, sleep apnea or an inner ear infection.
Unilateral tonsillar swelling is a fairly common presenting complaint in an Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) department. It may or may not be associated with any other symptoms. Most of the time, the tonsil asymmetry is secondary to previous history of tonsillitis, quinsy, and tonsil stones.
Adenoids are a patch of tissue that is high up in the throat, just behind the nose. They, along with the tonsils, are part of the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system clears away infection and keeps body fluids in balance. The adenoids and tonsils work by trapping germs coming in through the mouth and nose.
Most of the time, the adenoids become enlarged when the body is trying to fight off infection. They can remain enlarged, even after the infection is gone. Some children have enlarged adenoids from birth. Allergies can also cause this enlargement.
Procedure overview A tonsillectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the tonsils. Tonsils are small, round glands in the back of the mouth, on the sides of the throat. Often the adenoids are removed at the same time as tonsils. This procedure is known as an adenoidectomy.
Adenoidal hypertrophy or enlargement in adults is much less commonly seen than in children. It is usually due to chronic infection or inflammation. HIV always needs to be excluded as a cause.
