ABSTRACT: Perioperative airway management in patients with oro-facial cancers who has undergone chemo/or radiotherapy poses a great challenge to the anaesthesiologist. These challenges are mainly due to either a mass in the oral cavity or a limited mouth opening making intubation difficult or a major facial defect making mask ventilation difficult. We present our first time experience in a 27-year-old man with a malignant lymphoma of the right cheek who had undergone chemotherapy and needed plastic surgery to restore the face.
