Female, 72 years old, s/p right partial glossectomy and neck dissection for T1 N0 SCC of the right oral tongue. A mild distortion of the tongue anatomy is seen which may reflect interval surgery. Although the fat-suppressed postcontrast images are somewhat motion degraded, no discrete or enhancing mass lesion is seen in the oral cavity.Evidence of right neck dissection is seen. The right submandibular gland has been excised. No pathologic adenopathy is detected. The remainder of the visualized aerodigestive mucosa is within normal limits. The residual salivary glands and thyroid are within normal limits. Bone marrow signal characteristics are unremarkable.
Postoperative findings are seen without evidence of tumor recurrence or pathologic adenopathy.
