“…In light of the varied localization of SM, the physician should pay particular attention to any form of skin lesion in the patient with a history of SCCHN, and follow‐up visits should include inspection of all cutaneous regions above the diaphragm, including the scalp. The current study found that SM were most often associated with oral cavity, oropharyngeal, and supraglottic primary tumors, which is consistent with previous reports 9 , 17 …”

“…The prognosis for the development of SM is similar. Survival rates of between 3 and 7 months have been reported 9 . The current study showed an average survival time of 25.4 months from the initial primary tumor diagnosis, with 1‐, 2‐, 5‐, and 10‐year survival rates of 44%, 28%, 6%, and 0%, respectively.…”

“…The mechanism of metastasis to skin in epidermoid cancers of the head and neck could be due to local spread, lymphatic or by the hematogenous route. [10] In our case, there were two discrete regional lesions of skin metastasis on the neck and one was near the stoma, which could be due to the loco-regional spread. But, since there were disseminated cutaneous metastases, so it was more likely to have been due to the hematogenous spread.…”

“…Metastasis in epidermoid cancers of the head and neck could be due to local spread, lymphatic or hematogenous route. [ 7 ] In the present case the skin metastasis is likely to be due to the hematogenous spread. The presence of multiple skin metastases may occur in conjunction with lung and bone metastasis as well.…”
