An unusual metastatic site of laryngeal carcinoma: scapular muscles

Emre A Yucel et al. J Laryngol Otol. 2003 Jan.

Abstract

It is well known that in advanced cervical metastatic disease of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, the incidence of distant metastasis is high. A case of distant metastasis to the scapular muscles from an uncontrolled cervical metastasis of laryngeal carcinoma is presented. Other unusual metastatic sites are reviewed and the possible mechanism of the spread is discussed.
