Résumé
Tonsillar asymmetry is both a common clinical finding and a potential sign of cancer. The diagnosis of the latter requires tonsillectomy, which is associated with two weeks off work and post-operative risk of bleeding, which ranges between 1.5 and 15% of the cases. Thus, it is crucial to determine which patients can be followed clinically and which ones will need a diagnostic tonsillectomy. This article provides a review of the literature on tonsillar asymmetry in the adult population and an algorithm for its management.
