Spindle cell neoplasm of the tonsil are rare (Minami et al. in Am J Otolaryngol 29(2):123–125, 2008) and can be difficult to diagnose due to their non-specific clinical presentation and histological characteristics (Su et al. in J Chin Med Assoc 69(10):478–483, 2006). Differential diagnoses include lymphoma and squamous cell carcinoma (Hyams in Clin Otolaryngol Allied Sci 3(2):117–126, 1978). Oropharyngeal spindle cell neoplasms were more likely to occur in the tongue base and tonsil (58%) (Gerry et al. in Ann Otol Rhinol Laryngol 123(8):576–583, 2014). In this article, we report a case of tonsillar spindle cell neoplasm which is extremely rare.
