Résumé
We report a case of squamous cell carcinoma of the tonsil incidentally detected by F-choline PET/CT. A 55-year-old male patient with a history of prostate cancer underwent F-choline PET/CT for restaging. PET/CT revealed a focal area of increased F-choline uptake corresponding to the left tonsil. No other areas of abnormal F-choline uptake were detected in the rest of the body. Based on these PET/CT findings, the patient underwent clinical examination and biopsy of the left tonsil. Histology demonstrated the presence of a squamous cell carcinoma of the tonsil.
