Abstract
- Most lymphoma occurs within the lymph node. A small portion of the lymphoma can have extranodal involvements such as the oral cavity, oropharynx, nasopharynx, paranasal sinuses, and larynx, etc. Especially, Hodgkin's lymphoma with primary manifestation in the palatine tonsil is an extremely rare entity and seldom documented in the literature. Recently, we experienced a case of palatine tonsil mass as a first symptom of Hodgkin's lymphoma. The patient underwent a surgical excision and radiotherapy. The authors report the first case of Hodgkin's lymphoma of the palatine tonsil in Korea with a review of literature.
