Abstract


The metastasis of laryngeal carcinoma to skin is very rare. The distant metastasis of head and neck squamous carcinomas involve lungs, liver and bone. We present a 61 year old male patient treated with total laryngectomy and bilateral type 3 modified radical neck dissection due to transglottic laryngeal carcinoma. The patient developed metastatic subcutaneous nodules in the skin of the scalp after eight month of postoperative radiotherapy.

Key Words: Larynx Carcinoma; Cutaneous Metastasis; Squamous Cell Carcinoma; Radiotherapy.
