Complete Response of a Giant Metastatic Neck Mass in Tonsillar Squamous Cell Carcinoma Achieved with Radiotherapy Combined with Immunotherapy: A Case Report
To report the successful treatment of a large metastatic neck tumor in a patient with tonsillar squamous cell carcinoma using combined radiotherapy and immunotherapy.
Key Findings:
Near-total resolution of the metastatic mass after combined treatment.
Complete response with only minor skin fibrosis observed.
No local recurrence or distant metastasis as of April 15, 2025.
Interpretation:
The case suggests that combined radiotherapy and immunotherapy can be effective in treating advanced, refractory tonsillar squamous cell carcinoma.
Limitations:
