Preoperative computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a mass0.5cm in diameter with heterogenous enhanced signal intensity outside of the left genioglossus muscle.Radical neck dissection, partial left glossectomy, and reconstruction with a forearm flap were performedin a pull-through manner after external radiation and chemotherapy. Histopathologically, the mass had alymph-node structure with small cancer nests at the margin.
