The lesion was detected in the oropharyngeal posterior wall in a laryngopharyngoscopic NBI examination during follow-up after treatment of a carcinoma in the floor of the mouth.
It was recognized under NBI as a lesion with a brownish area, and the close-up view additionally showed scattered brown dots. In the conventional white light image, the same area was seen as a reddening lesion.
