On Two Cases of Reticulosarcoma of the Tonsil

Abstract

Two cases of typical lymphatic reticulosarcoma that originated in the left tonsil were kept under clinical observation all through their courses. The patients were both female, one aged 31 and the other 32. In one case the disease, taking a rapid course, responded markedly to radio-and chemotherapy, and yet relapsed in various other Parts of the body by metastases. In the other case, on the other hand, it took a slow course, causing much pain and not responding to any treatment. It proved equally fatal in both the cases.
