Simultaneous occurrence of metastatic tonsillar squamous cell carcinoma and angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma in a cervical lymph node.
Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) is a frequent head and neck malignancy. Squamous cell carcinoma of the tonsil is the second most common head and neck carcinoma. We report a case of a tonsillar carcinoma metastasis in an angioimmunoblastic-transformedlymph node. To our knowledge this is the first description and histopathological documentation of such a case in the literature.
