T1N0 left tongue cancer s/p glossectomy (4 mm depth of invasion) with primary closure 7/2009 and and revision glossectomy and neck dissection in 8/2009. There are postoperative findings related to partial left glossectomy and neck dissection, with resection of the left submandibular gland. There is an unchanged small patchy area of high T2 signal in the posterior left oral tongue. Otherwise, there is no evidence of gross tumor in the upper aerodigestive tract. There is a persistent prominent left lateral retropharyngeal lymph node that measures up to 9 mm. Otherwise, there is no significant lymphadenopathy in the neck. The remaining salivary glands are unchanged. The mucosal thickening within the maxillary sinuses has nearly resolved, with minimal residual thickening along the right infundibulum. The thyroid gland appears unchanged. The orbits and imaged intracranial structures are grossly unremarkable. There is multilevel degenerative cervical spondylosis.
