Be brave: Get the tonsil biopsied, but i'd be surprised if it's lymphoma . It's to cover themselves and you. If you need some medicine for anxiety, this might be a time to ask. Let your rheumatolgoist who's managing your lupus know about this new stressor. Your age and this presentation make lymphoma unlikely but not impossible.

See below...: I'm not sure they really think it's lymphoma. The just want to be cautious and make sure they cover all the bases. Asymmetrical enlargement of the tonsils is indeed an indication to rule out lymphoma but by no means you should interpret it as clear evidence of lymphoma. Your ENT may recommend taking out the tonsils for a definitive diagnosis.
