Why Is My Son's Tonsil Is Abnormal In Size, Texture And Colour?

My 18 year old son has dermatomyositis and just had his tonsils removed. One is extremely abnormal in size, texture and color. The doctor tested for malignancy and I am wondering what cross-over diseases cuold be tested for. i.e does lupus affect the tonsils this way?
