I had my tonsils out 1 year ago, i am 22. i noticed a mass in the pocket where my tonsil used to be?

Be seen...: "A mass" isn't descriptive enough to hazard a guess as to what you are noticing. This type of thing needs to be seen by a physician. Tonsillar tissue can grow back, but an exam is required to see if that is what you are noticing.
