Hypopharyngeal squamous carcinoma is an aggressive disease with a high frequency of local and distant spread. Distant metastasis is seen more often now because of better loco-regional control due to more aggressive multimodal therapy. This article reports two cases of unusual metastatic disease from squamous carcinoma of pyriform sinus and reviews the metastatic disease in hypopharyngeal squamous cancers. The first was a case of metastatic pericardial effusion and the second was a metastasis to soft tissues of the scapular region and lung.
下咽鳞状细胞癌是一种侵袭性疾病，局部和远处转移的发生率很高。由于更积极的多模式治疗使局部区域控制更好，现在远处转移更为常见。本文报告了两例梨状窦鳞状细胞癌罕见转移病例，并回顾了下咽鳞状细胞癌的转移情况。第一例是转移性心包积液，第二例是转移至肩胛区软组织和肺部。
