Peritonsillar abscess is a localized accumulation of pus within the peritonsillar space and mostly results from suppurative infection of the tonsils or inadequately treated chronic tonsillitis but may also arise de novo without clinical evidence of tonsillar infection. Other proposed etiologies include infection of the Weber's glands or periodontal or dental infections. We report a case of right sided quinsy due to foreign body in tonsil (partial ischolar_main of a carious molar). The case is discussed in view of its unusual etiology.
