A 45-year-old male who was suspected of having toxoplasmosis from the findings of the fundi oculi and histopathological features of the cervical lymphnodes is reported.
His chief complaints were dysphagia and cough. He had no past or family histories relevant to toxoplasmosis.
Although retinochoroidtis which was hightly suggestive of toxoplasmosis was confirmed, the toxoplasma could not be identified and even the serologic test was negative.
The swelling of the right side of the lingual tonsil was removed surgically but was followed by another swelling on the left side, which produced difficulty in swallowing.
The authers reviewed the reports on toxoplasmosis appearing in the otolaryngological literature.
