Abstract:
Usual sites of the spread of the squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) larynx is regional-cervical lymphadenopathy. The lung is the most frequent site of distant metastasis, accounting for 66% of distant metastasis. Other metastatic sites include bone (22%), liver (10%), skin, mediastinum, and bone marrow. Occurrence of distant metastasis adversely affects the survival and alters the treatment planning completely, more towards palliative intent. Here, we present a case with very rare presentation of malignant ascites in a case of SCC larynx.

Water
The polarity of the water molecule and its resulting hydrogen bonding makes water a unique substance with special properties that are intimately tied to the processes of life. Life originally evolved in an aqueous environment, and most of an organism’s cellular chemistry and metabolism occur inside the aqueous contents of the cell’s cytoplasm. Special properties of water are its high heat capacity...
