Waldeyer’s tonsillar ring (also pharyngeal lymphoid ring or Waldeyer’s lymphatic ring) is an anatomical term collectively describing the annular arrangement of lymphoid tissue in the pharynx. Waldeyer’s ring circumscribes the naso- and oropharynx with some of its tonsillar tissue located above and some below the soft palate (and to the back of the oral cavity).
