ABSTRACT: Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma is not one disease but many. It embraces a spectrum from low grade; indolent disease with an untreated natural history which may be measured in decades through to aggressive types which, if untreated may prove fatal within days of presentation. NHL as a group is more common than Hodgkin’s disease, but many of the subtypes are relatively rare. Usually, NHL is a disease of the lymphnodes, but extra nodal NHL is significantly more common than extra nodal Hodgkin’s disease. NHL can present at virtually any age, but different types are more common at different ages. In this case study we discuss a relatively rare presentation of a Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma presenting as grade III tonsillar hypertrophy.
