Abstract:
Cutaneous metastasis from head and neck cancers is rare, typically presenting as single or multiple nodules. This report presents a truly unique and intriguing case of squamous carcinoma of the tongue, in which the patient developed numerous metastatic nodules in the face and neck, a phenomenon rarely seen in clinical practice. The patient, a known case of carcinoma tongue, was treated radically with concurrent chemoradiation. He presented with small cutaneous lesions in his neck and upper chest, which were confirmed as cutaneous malignancies. Despite receiving one cycle of palliative chemotherapy, the management of this case posed significant and complex challenges, requiring a deep understanding of the nature of the spread and metastatic pathway for choosing the appropriate management.
