Abstract
Squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck is the most common neoplasia in the head and neck area followed by malignant lymphoma. Here we describe for the first time the synchronous manifestation of a squamous cell carcinoma and a follicular lymphoma of the palatine tonsil. Histomorphologic and etiopathogenetic characteristics are described and discussed on the basis of the current literature. The coincidence of a lymphoma and a squamous cell carcinoma in the head and neck area is an oncologic rarity as well as an interdisciplinary diagnostic and therapeutic challenge.
