Clavicle fracture after radical neck dissection of mouth floor carcinoma misdiagnosed as cervical metastasis: a case report / 华西口腔医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Clavicle fracture, a very rare delayed complication following radical neck dissection of oral carcinoma, is normally ignored by oral and maxillofacial surgeons. We report and analyze a male patient with clavicle fracture after primary extended excision and bilateral radical neck dissection. This case was misdiagnosed as cervical metastasis.
