Malignant lymphoma of the faucial tonsil. 1978

M S Shanmugham

Ten cases of malignant lymphoma of the faucial tonsil treated in the R.U.H., Bath, during 1965--1975 are reviewed. Dysphagia and irritation in the throat are predominant symptoms. Enlarged tonsil is the commonest feature. Radiotherapy is the treatment of choice and the prognosis has improved considerably with modern supervoltage radiotherapy.
