Cases of primary colorectal signet-ring cell carcinoma metastatic to the tonsil are extremely rare. To the best of our knowledge, only 4 such cases have been previously reported in the literature. We report a new case in a 76-year-old white woman. She was treated with chemotherapy, but her disease continued to spread and she was eventually placed on comfort care and palliative radiation therapy. The manner in which tonsillar metastases evolve is still unknown, but some hypotheses have been proposed, and we briefly review these theories.
原发性结直肠癌转移至扁桃体的病例极为罕见。据我们所知，此前文献中仅报道过4例此类病例。我们报告1例发生在一名76岁白人女性身上的新病例。她接受了化疗，但病情仍持续扩散，最终接受了姑息治疗和姑息性放射治疗。扁桃体转移瘤的演变方式尚不清楚，但已提出了一些假说，我们将简要回顾这些理论。
