Abstract EN
Nasopharyngeal cancers account for 1-5 % of all childhood cancers.
Its symptoms can often be deceptive and confusing.
Peritonsillar abscess is generally seen as a complication of acute tonsillitis in young subjects.
It may, however, in rare cases reveal a malignant pharyngeal tumor.
We report a rare case of undifferentiated carcinoma revealed by a peritonsillar abscess in a child.
