Abstract

We describe a 46-year-old man, active smoker (31pack per year) with a history of marked ethyl habits (330g/daily). He was first evaluated in November 2016 after having performed a biopsy of a soft palate lesion that revealed a focally keratinizing squamous cell carcinoma, cT3N0M0. Between 30/11/2016 and 13/01/2017, he underwent concurrent chemoradiation with a radical intention. He then stayed under clinical surveillance.
