♂, 53yo. with poorly differentiated squamous carcinoma of the posterior tongue histologically proven. Baseline PET/CT showed a pathological FDG-uptake in the primary tumor site as well as in the right cervical and supraclavicular lymph nodes. End-of-treatment (EOT) PET/CT, performed 14 weeks after radiotherapy, showed moderate residual uptake near the primary tumor site first considered as treatment-related and scores undetermined in 2 out of 3 visual scores.
