Abstract
Skin and brain metastasis in head and neck carcinoma (SCC) is extremely rare and contribute to less than 5% of cases. Cutaneous metastases of head and neck cancer usually manifests as papulonodular lesions and brain metastases presents with features of raised intracranial tension. We present a case report of 49- year male diagnosed with synchronous cutaneous and brain metastasis. Intent is usually palliative & prognosis remains poor in these cases marked by poorer outcomes. Keywords : Head and neck cancer, Brain metastases, Cutaneous metastases.
