Either of two masses of lymphatic tissue one on each side of the oral pharynx.
1
These changes were driven predominantly by base-of-tongue and tonsil cancers in men.
2
If in the tonsil or lymphatic gland, it destroys life rapidly.
3
Reactive germinal centers of non-neoplastic tonsil and lymph node tissue were also examined.
4
T-antigen expression was detected in an SV40 DNA-positive tonsil by immunohistochemistry.
5
Methods and materials: Eight patients with significant artifact and tonsil cancer were evaluated.
1
The palatine tonsil is the most important element of Waldeyer's ring as a defense mechanism against various microorganisms.
2
We describe the case of a 37-year old male who presented with a schwannoma in his right palatine tonsil.
3
We here report a rare case of AITL involving palatine tonsil as primary site and give a review of the literature.
4
In the palatine tonsil, the infected cells were not found in the stratified squamous epithelium that is adjacent to the pharynx.
5
The mean epithelial surface area of the paired palatine tonsil was 7.14 cm(2) and that of the pharyngeal tonsil was 23.5 cm(2).
6
The recurrent and chronic inflammation of palatine tonsils sometimes results in hypertrophy.
7
With laryngoscopy, there was a marked outgrowth of the bilateral palatine tonsils proximal to the vocal cord.
8
The musk shrew, Suncus murinus, is one of the primitive mammals and has a pair of palatine tonsils.
9
We did not observe any reactivity of CD98 in nasopharyngeal tonsil epithelium and lymphoid cells of either nasopharyngeal or palatine tonsils.
