Male, 56 years old, with history of right tonsil/glossotonsillar sulcus squamous cell carcinoma, T1 N1, p16+, status post resection with lymph node dissection. Postoperative changes are seen compatible with resection of the right palatine tonsil. No evidence of recurrent mucosal tumor is seen. Findings are also demonstrated compatible with right neck dissection. The previous pathologic level II node on the right has been excised. No additional pathologic adenopathy is detected by size criteria. The salivary glands are within normal limits. The thyroid is not well visualized due to artifactual signal loss. Bone marrow signal characteristics are unremarkable.
Postoperative findings are demonstrated with no evidence of recurrent tumor or pathologic adenopathy.
