[Metastasizing hypernephroma in palatine tonsil].
Metastatic growths on palatine tonsils are very scarce if compared with primordial tumors of this sitting. Report of a case, in a 56-year-old woman, who 6 months after being operated from a left nephrectomy for hypernephroma presented a metastasis of clair renal cells on the right tonsil. Given the peculiarity of such a case we look through the literature of tonsil metastases and discuss the differential diagnosis regarding these type of lesions, sometimes encountered in our daily practice.
