title: [Lymphoepithelial hyperplasia of the tonsil at the base of the tongue].
abstract: A case report is communicated on lymphoepithelial hyperplasia of the tonsil at the base of the tongue. This may be demonstrated during radiological double contrast examination of the oesophagus as a protrusion of the mucosa of the hypopharynx with smooth or nodular relief pattern. Differential diagnosis is necessary especially against malignant neoplasms.
