Hodgkin Lymphoma presenting as persistent sore throat.

Joana Vilela da Silva, Isabel Pinto, José Penêda, Sandra Gerós, Artur Condé

Resumen

Several clinical conditions may affect the palatine tonsil, including inflammatory, infectious and tumoral diseases. Despite lymphomas are the second most common malignancy of the head and neck, extranodal Hodgkin lymphoma is a rare occurrence.

The most common manifestations of Hodgkin disease include enlarged lymph nodes and constitutional symptoms. We present the rare case of Hodgkin lymphoma presenting with a tonsillar mass. We emphasize the importance of the macroscopic appearance of tonsillar lesions that may yield the key to anticipate the diagnosis of this condition.

Palabras clave
