IM, caused by Epstein-Barr virus, is a self-limiting, benign lymphoproliferative disorder. Transferred through saliva, blood, and semen, it presents clinically in adolescents with fever, pharyngitis, and lymphadenopathy. While literature has reported cases of IM mimicking Hodgkin¡¯s lymphoma, the histopathologic resemblance of IM to T-cell lymphomas is uncommon. In this report, we present a patient who clinically presented with symptoms of IM, which was confirmed through the monospot test. The novelty of this case was that tonsillar hyperplasia initially was interpreted as T-cell lymphoma in a patient with IM %U https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/23772484.2020.1735251
