Finding(s)

Fracture Hemorrhage Infection

Reason for the Scan

You had a lump on your left tonsil for over a year. This scan checks your neck and throat for lumps, spread, or blockage.

Procedure Details

A CT scan (special x-ray) of your neck and skull base was done with contrast dye. Thin slices and reformatted views were used for detail.

Important Findings

Lumps in both tonsils (palatine tonsils). Right is 1.3 x 2.0 x 3.3 cm, left is 2.2 x 2.3 x 3.0 cm (about grape to plum size).
No nearby bone damage around the tonsil lumps.
Many swollen glands (infection-fighting lymph nodes) on both sides of the neck and in the armpits.
Largest swollen gland is in the right armpit, 1.4 cm across the short side.
No dead center in the glands (no soft breakdown) and no clear spread outside the gland walls.
Voice box (larynx), tongue, saliva glands, thyroid, and major neck blood vessels look normal.
Nose passages and sinuses show no important swelling or fluid levels.
Skull base, brain base, upper spine bones in the neck, and top lungs look normal.

Conclusion

You have lumps in both tonsils, bigger on the left, with many swollen neck and armpit glands. These could be lymphoma or squamous cell cancer.

Note of Concern

See an ear, nose, and throat cancer team and a blood cancer specialist urgently. You likely need a biopsy of a tonsil or a gland, and a PET/CT (whole-body scan). Go to the hospital now if you have trouble breathing, choking on saliva, fast-growing neck swelling, bleeding from the throat, or high fever.
