Abstract
Pediatric tonsil cancer is rare, with non-Hodgkin lymphoma accounting for the majority of pediatric tonsillar malignancies. A high index of suspicion is appropriate in children who present with relatively rapid tonsil enlargement, tonsillar asymmetry characterized by a difference in tonsillar size of â¥2 degrees on the Brodsky scale, or concurrent prominent cervical lymphadenopathy.
