Current Case:
A 54-years old treated for left upper buccal squamous cell carcinoma had pain and difficulty in mouth opening.
PET/CT showed soft tissue but with minimal uptake in the left upper buccal space extending into the masticator space
It was decided to follow-up this lesion, since it was not clear, whether this was post-operative of tumor. 6 weeks later, a contrast CT shows minimal increase in the soft tissue
The patient was sent for a biopsy.
