A rare case of skin metastasis from soft palate cancer
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RECENT TRENDS IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY - Year 2018, Vol 27, Issue 3
Abstract
Distant metastasis from soft palate cancers usually occur in the lung, liver or bone. We present here a case of skin metastasis from primary cancer of the soft palate in 51 year old male initially at stage IV A. After completion of definitive chemoradiation, the patient was in disease free locoregionally but developed skin nodule which was confirmed as metastatic deposits. Skin metastasis from soft palate cancers are very rare and need careful evaluation because they portend a poor prognosis.
