Compound Pelvic Muscle Metastasis in Laryngeal Carcinoma

Abstract

Laryngeal carcinoma is a prevalent neoplasm affecting the respiratory tract and it typically occurs in the primary tissues of the larynx. Laryngeal cancer can spread through metastasis, direct extension, or bloodstream. Head and neck squamous cell cancer is a collective term for carcinoma of mucosal epithelium in oral cavity, pharynx, and larynx. We report a case of a 50-year-old man who initially presented with hip pain from an iliopsoas abscess and was found to have an uncommon presentation of head and neck squamous cell cancer spreading from bone to the compound pelvic muscle iliopsoas.
