“…The site of skin metastases include neck, chest, scalp, face, lips, axilla, areola, back, arms, and digits, with the most common being the neck and chest. [910] The skin metastases may evolve through three possible mechanisms, direct spread via tissue planes, local spread through dermal lymphatic's, and distant spread as a result of hematogenous spread. [11] Cutaneous metastases from laryngeal carcinoma may present as non-tender firm nodules, as sclerodermoid lesions, or may mimic an inflammatory process.…”

“…Veraldi reported a case with metastatic laryngeal tumor in the form of localized nodules in frontal area and arm in a patient with laryngeal tumor. [9] Bottoni reported a patient with metastatic laryngeal carcinoma in the form of infiltrate erythema in supra and infra clavicular regions after 4 years of primary surgical treatment. As cutaneous metastases in cases of carcinoma larynx can be solitary or multiple, therefore FDG PET CT has an added benefit in knowing the extent of disease as well as sites of metastases.…”

FDG PET/CT in a rare case of multiple cutaneous metastases in carcinoma larynx

Distant metastases in squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx have an incidence of 6.5-7.2% and most commonly involves the lungs, liver, and bone. Metastases to the skin are very rare, but, when present, they are usually considered a poor prognostic sign. This most often affect the supradiaphragmatic area, i.e., the head, neck, thorax, or upper extremities. We have reported 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography computed tomography (FDG PET/CT) scan of a patient with squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx showing multiple subcutaneous nodules all over the body, which was helpful in the assessment as well as staging of the disease.

Squamous cell carcinoma of supraglottic larynx with metastasis to all five distal phalanges of left hand

et al. 2011

Subcutaneous metastasis from carcinoma larynx is a rare presentation and to the phalynx is the rarest. We herein describe a case report of carcinoma supraglottic larynx, which is involving all five distal phalanges of left hand with simultaneous metastases to lung and liver. Acrometastasis is an unusual presentation, which might mimic an infectious or inflammatory pathology. The brief report highlights the importance of clinical awareness of metastatic dissemination to unusual sites in the face of increasing cancer survivorship.

Acrometastasis to the hand is an unusual presentation which might mimic an infectious, inflammatory, or a metabolic pathology. We herein describe a case series of three patients of acrometastasis to the hand. We encountered three cases of acrometastasis to the hand attending the departmental clinics from 2007 to 2010. The median age at presentation was noted to be 55 years. All were males. The primaries included squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, larynx, and esophagus. In two patients, acrometastasis was detected at presentation and in one it was detected 2 years postcompletion of radical therapy. Two patients were offered palliative radiation to acrometastasis, and best supportive care was given to one. Palliation achieved after radiation was noted to be modest to good. The brief report highlights the importance of the clinical awareness of metastatic dissemination to unusual sites in the face of increasing cancer survivorship. Acrometastasis portends a poor prognosis with limited survival, and optimal integration of the best supportive care is mandatory. A short course of hypofractionated palliative radiation therapy results in modest to good palliation.
