Abstract
We report a case of synchronous p16+ SCC involving both the nasopharynx and base of tongue treated with definitive chemo-radiotherapy with concurrent high dose cisplatin. The nasopharyngeal lesion was detected incidentally on PET/CT imaging. Head and neck clinicians treating p16+ SCC should consider the possibility of synchronous lesions, including lesions which may be located in the lymphoid tissue of the nasopharynx.
