During a biopsy, a p16-positive squamous cell carcinoma was histologically confirmed externally in the area of the soft palate on the left. Preoperative CT showed a cT1 cN0 cM0 uvula/oropharyngeal carcinoma on the left side. Sonography also showed a cN0 neck status. There is now an indication for panendoscopy and tumor resection. The patient had ample opportunity to ask questions about the procedure before the operation.
