Abstract

Head and neck cancers are the sixth most common type of cancer in world; and of these, less than 10% are oropharyngeal cancers. The most common malignant tumor of oropharynx, even though it is accepted as a part of digestive system, is squamous cell carcinoma. On the other hand, adenocarcinoma, a common histopathological type for digestive system, is very rarely reported at base of tongue. Therefore, this article was aimed to present a 72-year-old male patient with a primary adenocarcinoma of the base of tongue and discuss the clinical presentation, radiological evaluation, histopathological examination, treatment modalities and prognosis with the literature.

Abstract

Baş boyun kanserleri, tüm kanserler arasında sıklığı itibariyle altıncı sıradadır ve bu kanserlerin %10'undan azını orofarenks kanserleri oluşturmaktadır. Orofarenks her ne kadar sindirim sisteminin bir parçası olarak kabul edilse de, en sık rastlanan malign tümörü yassı hücreli karsinomdur. Ancak, nadiren de olsa bu bölgede sindirim sisteminde sık rastlanan adenokarsinom da gelişebilmektedir. Bu makalede, primer dil kökü adenokarsinomu olan 72 yaşında erkek olgu sunumu ile nadir rastlanan bu kanserin klinik tablosu, radyolojik değerlendirmesi, histopatolojik incelemesi, tedavisi ve prognozu tartışılmıştır.
