Isolated skeletal muscle metastasis after successful treatment of carcinoma larynx: a rare occurrence
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CURRENT RESEARCH - Year 2015, Vol 7, Issue 3
Abstract
Skeletal muscle metastasis from the squamous cell carcinoma of larynx is very rare. Distant metastasis in squamous cell carcinoma most commonly involve the lungs, liver and bone. We report here on a patient who was diagnosed as carcinoma of larynx with T3N0M0 disease and had been given curative radiotherapy presented with the right lumbar subcutaneous swelling with no evidence of recurrent disease at the primary site. He presented one year after therapy with discrete lump in right lumbar region and diagnosis of metastatic lesion was made by excision and biopsy of the lesion. From stand point of topography, skeletal muscle metastasis is exceptional.
