Abstract

We present a rare case of tonsillar EHE with local recurrence and neck metastasis 30 months after surgery, as well as further neck recurrence 27 months later. We describe clinical, immunohistopathological, and therapeutic aspects of the tumor highlighting the diagnostic difficulties, lack of therapeutic guidelines and need for long-term follow-up.
