“…This case report accounts for the second reported instance of hyoid metastasis from lung adenocarcinoma. Metastatic tumors to the hyoid bone are rare, with sporadic instances reported in breast, liver, colon, skin, lung, and prostate cancers[ 1 - 6 ]. We present the case of a 72-year-old female patient with stage IV terminal lung cancer presenting with throat pain attributed to a metastatic tumor on the hyoid.…”

BACKGROUND Metastasis to the hyoid bone is an exceptionally rare occurrence, with documented cases limited to breast, liver, colon, skin, lung, and prostate cancers. This report highlights an unusual case involving the metastasis of lung adenocarcinoma to the hyoid bone, accompanied by a distinctive headache. Previous documentation involved surgical resection of the hyoid mass. We present a case displaying the benefits of palliative radiotherapy. CASE SUMMARY A 72-year-old non-smoking, non-alcoholic woman, initially under investigation for a year-long elevation in absolute lymphocyte count, presented with a month-long history of intermittent throat pain. Despite negative findings in gastroenterological and otolaryngologic examinations, a contrast-enhanced chest computed tomography scan revealed a mediastinal mass and questionable soft tissue thickening in her left anterolateral neck. Subsequent imaging and biopsies confirmed the presence of lung adenocarcinoma metastasis to the hyoid bone. The patient was treated with platinum-based chemo-immunotherapy along with pembrolizumab. Ultimately, the lung cancer was unresponsive. Our patient opted for palliative radiation therapy instead of surgical resection to address her throat pain. As a result, her throat pain was alleviated, and it also incidentally resolved her chronic headaches. This is the second documented case of lung adenocarcinoma metastasizing to the hyoid bone. CONCLUSION Palliative radiotherapy may add to the quality of life in symptomatic patients with cancer metastatic to the hyoid bone.

We present a case (55-year-old) with a metastasis to the sphenoid sinus from an occult prostatic adenocarcinoma as the first evidence of disease. The patient's symptoms were progressive left-sided headache of a few months duration and a 2-week history of blurred vision with diplopia. Clinical examination revealed a left cranial nerve III palsy and ptosis. A computed tomography scan showed a 2 cm large, well delineated soft tissue lesion involving the left sphenoid sinus and extending to the left cavernous sinus with sclerosis of the adjacent sphenoid bone. Histological and immunohistochemical examinations revealed a poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma that was positive for prostate specific antigen (PSA) and broad-spectrum cytokeratins (Cam 5.2). Subsequent urological examination confirmed a locally advanced prostatic carcinoma with significantly increased serum-PSA (4,561 μg/l) and bone scintigraphy showed widespread metastasis.
