Abstract
Surgery can treat sleep apnea. An elderly male underwent lingual/palatine tonsillectomy for OSA. He was then found to have T3N2 p16+ squamous cell carcinoma. He is receiving chemoradiation. Recognition of occult malignancy in tonsillectomy specimens may facilitate early diagnosis and treatment for patients following sleep apnea surgery.
摘要
手术可治疗睡眠呼吸暂停。一名老年男性因阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停接受了舌/腭扁桃体切除术。随后发现他患有T3N2 p16+鳞状细胞癌。他正在接受放化疗。识别扁桃体切除标本中的隐匿性恶性肿瘤可能有助于睡眠呼吸暂停手术后患者的早期诊断和治疗。
