This article presents an oncologic patient with oropharyngeal cancer. After surgery with bilateral neck dissection and adjuvant radiation, the patient developed foreign body granuloma in the area of neck dissection in addition to cervical and mediastinal granuloma. Possible differential diagnoses in this situation are sarcoidosis or tumor-derived sarcoid-like lesions, but also metastases. Therefore, intensified follow-up is particularly important for oncologic patients developing granulomas.
