First positioning of the patient, orotracheal intubation after tracheoscopy, which revealed no special features. Start with pharyngoscopy. There is an exophytic mass in the area of the right tonsillar lobe, which runs across the glossotonsillar junction to the border of the base of the tongue. The rest of the examination shows no special features. Laryngoscopy also shows no special features. The mass is extirpated in toto together with the tonsil, including parts of the anterior palatine arch, leaving the posterior palatine arch intact and including parts of the base of the tongue. Subsequent careful hemostasis. No evidence of bleeding on final inspection, not even on repeated inspection. The procedure is completed without complications. The specimen is sent for final histology. Macroscopic evidence of malignancy, although lymphoma could also be a possibility in addition to small cell bronchial carcinoma.
