Overview
Bejčková H., Bártová H.: Tonsil tumor from chemical exposure
The case report describes the case of a man who worked at risk of carcinogens for 31 years. 8 years after leaving high-risk workplaces, he was diagnosed with large cell lymphoma of the neck tonsils and left lymph nodes. He was successfully treated with chemotherapy. He himself applied for professional assessment 10 years after the diagnosis of cancer. Based on a positive hygienic examination, the finding was assessed as an occupational disease.
