Abstract

Carcinoma of the oral cavity is one of the most common cancers of the head-and-neck region with frequent metastasis to internal organs, especially the lungs, liver, and bone. However, cutaneous metastasis of head-and-neck squamous cell carcinoma is rarely reported in the literature, with only a few cases reported in the past. Here, we report a case of relapse of squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue which metastasized to the upper trunk region.
