Abstract
A case of lingual tonsillitis in which the diagnosis was first suggested roentgenographically is presented. The base of the tongue should always be examined on lateral soft-tissue roentgenograms of the neck, especially in those patients complaining of a sore throat, to evaluate for this elusive cause of pain and dysphagia.
