“…Batsakis et al (1979) reported that the sites of metastases were commonly the lung (80%); mediastinum, (58%); skeleton, (35%): and liver (27%) in that order. Extensive pulmonary metastases had been found in patients presenting with intracranial metastases (Warwick et al 1987). The chest skiagram in our patient failed to reveal any deposits.…”

The incidence of distant metastases from a primary laryngeal carcinoma is rare, and few instances of intracranial metastases were reported in the literature. Extensive pulmonary metastases were found in patients presenting with intracranial metastases. We hereby report a case of transelottic squamous cell carcinoma who developed intracranial metastases during the follow tip period after the primary had been controlled by radiotherapy, without clinical and radiological evidence of pulmonary metastases. A brief review of literature is presented to highlight the rare occurance of such case. Case ReportA 68 year old male presented himself in Feb. 1990 with complaints of hoarseness of voice of 6 months duration and dry cough of 6 months duration. There was no

“…Our patient received polychemotherapy after the appearance of the subcutaneous nodules but they did not regress. In general, the prognosis for these patients remains ominous and their life expectancy from the appearance of the subcutaneous and/or brain metastases to death is on average about 3 months [1,9]. In our case, the patient survived 1 year after the onset of the metastases.…”

“…A review of the literature revealed only six previously reported cases of cutaneous or subcutaneous metastases from tumors of the laryngeal space [1,3]; all these cases but one [3] were conventional SCCs. On the other hand, only one case of brain metastases from a laryngeal tumor has been previously reported [9]. In these cases, treatment is essentially aimed at providing symptomatic relief and improving the quality of remaining life.…”

Sarcomatoid carcinoma of the pyriform sinus with brain and subcutaneous metastases: an unusual metastatic spread pattern

A 63-year-old man presented a polypoid tumor in the laryngeal space involving the right pyriform fossa. The patient underwent a total laryngectomy with bilateral functional neck dissection, and the diagnosis of sarcomatoid carcinoma with malignant fibrous histiocytoma-like stroma was established. The tumor showed an uncommon behavior, with distant metastases to the brain and to the subcutaneous tissue of the abdominal wall. The patient died 1 year after the development of the metastases. Despite its polypoid pattern of growth, sarcomatoid carcinoma of the larynx may behave very aggressively. It is important for clinicians to be aware of the possibility of distant subcutaneous and brain metastases in sarcomatoid tumors of the laryngeal space. If such metastases develop, the prognosis is ominous, with an average life expectancy of 3 months.

The incidence of distant metastasis with laryngeal tumors varies from 1-4% [1]. The lungs are the most frequent site, followed by bone and liver. Intracranial metastases are rarely clinically diagnosed in head neck cancer patients and if present are mainly located in the cerebrum and cerebellum. Early stage glottic squamous carcinoma with subsequent distant metastasis is rare [2]. We report a patient with T1N0 glottic tumor who underwent a curative radiotherapy and on 3 months follow up presented with isolated intracranial metastasis.
