Tonsil stones, tonsils. The tonsils (palatine tonsils) are a pair of soft tissue masses located at the rear of the throat (pharynx). Each tonsil is composed of tissue similar to lymph nodes, covered by pink mucosa (like on the adjacent mouth lining). Running through the mucosa of each tonsil are pits, called crypts.
Tonsils and Bad Breath. Tonsil stones (also called tonsilloliths) are small white or yellow globules that develop in the tonsils or adenoids, and less commonly on the roof of the mouth and in the back of the throat. Tonsil stones can be hard to see without any visual aid because they hide in the pockets/crevices (crypts) of the tonsils.
