扁桃体转移是绝对罕见的。小细胞肺癌(SCLC)是扁桃体转移中最常见的组织类型，但肿瘤细胞向扁桃体扩散的途径仍存在争议。我们描述了一例76岁男性小细胞肺癌和扁桃体转移的病例报告，以强调口腔评估作为临床检查的一部分的重要性，并显示罕见的肿瘤细胞扩散。
Tonsillar metastases are absolutely rare. Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is known to be the most frequent histological type of tonsillar metastases, however the way of tumor cells spreading to tonsil remains controversial. We described a case report of 76-year-old man with SCLC and tonsillar metastases, to highlight the importance of oral cavity evaluation as a part of a clinical exam and to show the rare tumor cells spreading.
