[Subtonsillar localization of a non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Apropos of a case].
Non-Hodgkin's lymphomas of the head and neck with a non-lymph node primary site represent the second commonest cause of oropharyngeal tumour, after carcinomas (5). The location in the Waldeyer's ring is classical, most frequently involving the palatine tonsil. The authors report a case of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma arising in the vestigial lymphoid tissue of the subtonsillar region. They raise the problem of the differential diagnosis, despite the contribution of CT scan.
