Adult Asymmetrical Tonsils: Case Series

Asymmetrical tonsil enlargement in adults may stem from various underlying pathologies, including infectious, inflammatory, and neoplastic processes. Differential diagnoses may include but are not limited to, chronic tonsillitis, peritonsillar abscess, tonsillar hypertrophy, lymphoma, and squamous cell carcinoma. Each differential presents unique clinical features, diagnostic challenges, and management considerations, highlighting the need for a comprehensive approach to patient assessment. This case series will explore the clinical presentations, diagnostic workup, and therapeutic interventions employed in managing adult patients with asymmetrical tonsil enlargement. We aim to facilitate early detection, appropriate treatment, and optimal outcomes for affected individuals by emphasizing the importance of considering a broad range of differentials.
