Abstract
Adult T-cell leukaemia-lymphoma (ATLL) is a new type of T-cell malignancy which has an adult onset, a rapidly progressive terminal course and a clustering at patients' birthplaces in southeast Japan and the Caribbean. We report the clinical features of three cases of ATLL in Waldeyer's ring, which has been rarely reported in the literature. The patients complained of throat pain and lump in the neck. They received combination chemotherapy, but all died within a year of first noticing the symptoms.Keywords
