ABSTRACT
The palatine tonsils are the first extra-nodal localization of cervicofacial non-Hodgkin's malignant lymphomas. It is a rare localization and most often a type B lymphoma. This case highlights the difficulty of making an early diagnosis, given the non-specificity of clinical and paraclinical signs, and the fact that only anatomopathological examination can confirm the diagnosis. Chemotherapy is the only treatment for chemo sensitive forms of the disease. Prognosis is generally good, depending on sensitivity to treatment and stage of disease.
