An adult male presenting with left buccal mass

Abstract

The patient is a 52-year-old male with a 30-year history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), not compliant with antiretroviral therapy (although his last viral load was undetectable 1 year prior), presenting with 3 months of worsening left facial mass (Figures 1-5), generalized weakness, and a 30-pound weight loss. He came into the emergency department (ED) because the mass started causing changes in his speech.
