- Abstract
Introduction. Otorhinolaryngology neoplasms rank fifth in Romania. In recent years, they have increased by 12.88% compared to previous years. In the past, the risk factors were excessive smoking and alcohol, but over the last two decades there has been an increase in neoplasms due to HPV infection. Case presentation. We present the case of an 81-year-old patient who denies smoking and alcohol consumption and denies APP. The patient is hospitalized in our clinic in March 13th 2017, according to the ENT recommendation for the establishment of specialized treatment - adjuvant radiotherapy. A rigorous wound care and wound cure plan is put in place, with the supply of the water and nutritional intake needed for this case. The patient is undergoing specialized treatment: radiotherapy. Conclusions. The specificity of the case is represented by the aggressiveness of the tumour., with an infiltrative process at the retro-mandibular level, and adenopathy at cervical inferior and overclavicular level.
