Özet
İngilizce (OpenAlex)
Oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma is very uncommon among young children.This is a case report of a 4-year-old boy who was referred from another country with a history of a left-sided neck mass resected 5 months prior to his arrival.Three pathologists gave 3 different pathological diagnoses from the same specimen.A computed tomography scan of the neck indicated a mass located at the base of the tongue.A lesion biopsy confirmed a diagnosis of poorly differentiated carcinoma with p16 positivity and focal human papillomavirus positivity.The decision of the multidisciplinary board was to use radiation treatment as single-modality therapy.The patient completed the treatment and almost 5 years have passed uneventfully.This very rare occurrence of squamous cell carcinoma appears to have been resolved without any major consequences.
