The Finding

A 90+ year old male with no significant medical history was referred for TMJ evaluation due to pain and discomfort along the temporomandibular joint. The radiologist identified severe soft tissue asymmetry at the patient's left base of tongue, concerning for possible malignancy. The radiologist called the practice to discuss the finding, and on that recommendation the practice referred the patient to ENT, where squamous cell carcinoma was confirmed.
