This is a patient admitted for a hysterectomy and salpingo-oophorectomy. Here is the sentence that makes no sense, this is an ESL, too.


A focus was then placed ** after careful** level of the angle of the mandible, probably to presented dental disease or some mandible node.


 


The sentence before: A PET scan showed the primary FDG-Avid located probably in the cervix, and no evidence of regional metastatic disease, no evidence of distant metastatic disease.


Thank you for any help with this mess.
