“…[8] Another case of multiple cutaneous metastases was reported at 12 months following treatment for laryngeal squamous carcinoma. [9] However, in our case, multiple cutaneous metastases following SCVC occurred at the 3 months from the completion of treatment. Out of all available literature on cutaneous metastasis from laryngeal cancers, our case was unique in its presentation, because of the appearance of cutaneous metastasis in a short span of time following the treatment of the primary lesion.…”

Metastasis to the skin in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma is an extremely rare occurrence. We report a case of multiple cutaneous metastases in the follow-up of a 60-year-old male with squamous carcinoma of the vocal cords that were treated with surgery and radiotherapy. The patient presented with multiple painful skin nodules at 3 months following the completion of treatment. Clinically the skin nodules mimicked an inflammatory skin lesion. The diagnosis of metastatic skin lesions was made by cytological examination. Appearance of new painful skin lesions soon after the completion of treatment in patients treated for squamous carcinoma of the larynx should warrant a clinical suspicion of cutaneous metastases.
