Abstract:
Distant metastasis is the most important prognostic factor for head and neck cancer. This report presents the case of a 50-year-old man with distant metastasis of tongue carcinoma to the vastus lateralis muscle which presented to Nihon University Itabashi Hospital, Tokyo, Japan. Tumourectomy was performed with a diagnosis of tongue carcinoma (cT2N0M0, Stage II). Seven months later, radical neck dissection was performed for lymph node metastasis to a left supraclavicular lymph node. In addition, metastasis was then detected outside the neck dissection region. Tumourectomy and radiotherapy (50 Gy) were, therefore, added to the treatment regimen. However, left-sided vastus lateralis muscle metastasis was then observed. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of distant metastasis of oral squamous cell carcinoma to the vastus lateralis muscle.
