[Bilateral squamous cell carcinoma of the tonsils].
In this article we present a case report of a synchronous squamous cell carcinoma in both tonsils of the oropharynx without neck metastasis. Furthermore, we indicate that synchronous cancers are not that rare, and that special care should be taken when examining a patient with a squamous cell carcinoma of the oropharynx.
