Infectious Mononucleosis
Both patients presented with tonsillar mass. Histologically, in one case, the tonsil showed diffuse proliferation of medium-sized lymphocytes.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Carcinoma of the Tonsil
A 67-year-old Hispanic woman was discovered to have an asymptomatic right tonsillar mass on routine clinic visit that revealed HCCC on biopsy.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Here, we present a case report of a pedunculated tonsillar mass in a nearly asymptomatic patient that was present for 2 years prior to removal.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
A biopsy of the tonsillar mass was performed and histologic examination revealed small round to oval tumor cells were arranged in cords or nests, containing hyperchromatic[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis
Very interestingly, the tonsillar mass was also confirmed as the metastatic lesion of SCLC. Chemotherapy for SCLC and medical treatment for IPF were applied.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Chest computed tomography revealed 2 masses in the left lower lobe, 1 mass in the right upper lobe, and multiple enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes of the lung accompanying[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Tonsillar Abscess
Quinsy abscess Needle aspiration: All such patients require needle aspiration of the tonsillar mass and cultures.[smartypance.com]
Peritonsillar Abscess
Quinsy abscess Needle aspiration: All such patients require needle aspiration of the tonsillar mass and cultures.[smartypance.com]
All such patients require needle aspiration of the tonsillar mass and cultures. Aspiration of pus differentiates abscess from cellulitis.[msdmanuals.com]
Burkitt Lymphoma
AIMS: To report a case detailing the early histopathogenesis of Burkitt lymphoma (BL), Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) positive, in the clinical setting of HIV infection. METHODS AND RESULTS: We describe a 57 year-old woman with newly diagnosed HIV infection who presented with unilateral localized axillary lymphadenopathy.[…][ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Parapharyngeal Abscess
The disease of parapharyngeal abscess is well known to the otolaryngologist and is commonly managed via transoral, transcervical, or combined incision and drainage. We report a novel approach to an abscess that was drained through the external auditory canal (EAC). An otherwise healthy 2-year-old female presented[…][ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Oropharyngeal Cancer
Invited Review First Online: 03 July 2012 Abstract Perhaps one of the most important developments in head and neck oncology of the past decade is the demonstration that patients with human papillomavirus (HPV)-mediated oropharyngeal cancers have significantly improved outcomes, compared to HPV-negative[…][doi.org]
Ovarian Androblastoma ♀
Electron microscopic study of the tonsillar mass revealed crystalloid structures suggestive of the Leydig cell origin of the tumor.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Abstract Structural pattern of a tonsillar tumor found in a 67-year-old female was similar to a small ovarian androblastoma diagnosed histologically 6 1/2 years earlier.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Follicular Dendritic Cell Sarcoma
It should be included in the differential diagnosis of any tonsillar mass in adults.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The differential diagnosis of a tonsillar mass must include FDCS.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Ultrastructural studies were not performed in the tonsillar neoplasms but were supportive of FDC sarcoma in the retroperitoneal mass.[doi.org]
