Unusual Sites of Metastases in Carcinoma Tongue – A Case Report

Abstract

Cutaneous and renal metastasis in patients with squamous cell carcinoma of head and neck is a rare phenomenon. The reported incidence of skin metastasis in these cases is less than 1%, while the exact incidence of renal metastasis is still unknown. In the literature available only one case of renal metastasis from carcinoma tongue has been reported so far. We report a rare occurrence of isolated cutaneous and renal metastasis in an already treated case of carcinoma tongue.
