case_images: Intraoral examination revealed an ulceroproliferative lesion of approximately 2 x 3 cm on the lateral border of the tongue (right side) [ Figure 2], which was extending supero-inferiorly from the dorsal surface to the ventral surface of the tongue, anteroposteriorly from 46 region to the retromolar trigone (RMT) and involving soft palate.
case_images: MRI (tongue) showing features mentioned above.
