It is important to keep in mind that the thyroid gland can be a site of metastases for a variety of tumors when evaluating a thyroid nodule, especially in a patient with a prior history of malignancy. In patients with thyroid lesions and a history of malignant disease, regardless of time elapsed since the initial diagnosis of the primary neoplasm, disease recurrence or progression of malignancy must be considered until proven otherwise.

“…Although no specific ECG findings were reported, ST segment changes were noted in several of the patients (Table 1). Echocardiography was the cornerstone diagnostic modality to show the cardiac mass, and pericardial effusion appeared to be present in many of these patients [7, 8, 10, 11]. Cardiac MRI was used to define the extent of the cardiac mass in a few of the reported cases, as well as in our patient (Table 1).…”

This is a case of a 43-year-old man who in 2014 was diagnosed with oral squamous cell carcinoma involving the tongue. He underwent extensive surgery that involved right tongue cancer resection and reconstruction with a free flap graft from his right forearm. He then was started on chemotherapy and radiation. Surveillance computed tomography in December 2016 showed a cardiac lesion in the left ventricular apex, which was confirmed by further echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. A biopsy of the mass revealed metastatic squamous cell carcinoma. He was deemed to not be a surgical candidate and continued on palliative chemotherapy. The patient had a very poor prognosis and eventually succumbed to the disease, highlighting the importance of surveillance imaging in such cases. A high index of suspicion on the part of the physician is needed to help in the early identification of these patients.

“…The second category usually comprises T3 and T4 carcinomas, which have extensive spread to the tissues of the cheek and may also invade the overlying skin [58]. Thus, buccal mucosal SCC typically presents with the local disease that manifests with ulcers and can infiltrate deep into underlying tissue involving adjacent bone, causing decreased mobility to the teeth and severe pain [59,60]. At the advanced late stage, SCCs extend locoregionally to involve draining lymph nodes and this generally takes place as a result of permeability of lymphatic vessels by lymphatics.…”

Dyskeratosis Congenita is a severe disorder that involves several systems in the human body and is well-known for its transmission hereditarily through generations. The triad of a) reticular atrophy of the skin with pigmentation b) dystrophy of the nails c) leukoplakia of the oral mucosa characterises this uncommon disorder, which most commonly affects men. One of the key reasons for premature death in this disease is malignant transformation within areas of mucosal hyperkeratosis. In Dyskeratosis Congenita, the simultaneous existence of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) with lichen planus and or lichenoid reactions in the mucosa of the oral cavity is a rare, stated condition. This report discusses a case of a Libyan male patient affected by Dyskeratosis Congenita that ended with buccal mucosal squamous cell carcinoma developed on a lichen planus background after thirty years of suffering at the age of 64.
