Subject: Can this be right?

ESL dictator but very clearly says "status post left forearm graft to the pharynx" The patient has had "tongue and pharyngeal cancer secondary to squamous cell carcinoma" and had a wide lymph node resection of the neck. I've just never heard of a forearm graft to the pharynx, and will readily admit I still have a lot to learn after 10 years in this profession. Hope you can help clear this up for me. TIA
