71-year-old female
A 71-year-old female with no significant medical history was referred for evaluation of dental implant #14. During full-volume review, the radiologist identified a linear radiopaque entity in the base of the tongue anterior to the vallecula on the right side. The radiologist noted that the base of the tongue is a common site for impaction of sharp food objects such as fish bones, and that migration, infection, and injury to nearby structures are ongoing risks. As the referring clinician was an oral surgeon, clinical evaluation was recommended.
