Abstract

A 47-year-old man with poorly controlled diabetes presented to his local hospital with respiratory difficulty, dysphagia, and right-sided cervicofacial edema. This was found to be associated with an exophytic mass of the oral cavity overlying the mandible that was encroaching upon adjacent structures. He had first noticed this growth 6 weeks prior and reported that it was progressively enlarging. He was febrile and was found to have a leukocytosis, for which he was placed on broad-spectrum antibiotics.
