Usual sites of the spread of the squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) larynx is regional-cervical lymphadenopathy. The lung is the most frequent site of distant metastasis, accounting for 66% of distant metastasis. Other metastatic sites include bone (22%), liver (10%), skin, mediastinum, and bone marrow. Occurrence of distant metastasis adversely affects the survival and alters the treatment planning completely, more towards palliative intent. Here, we present a case with very rare presentation of malignant ascites in a case of SCC larynx.
喉鳞状细胞癌(SCC)常见的扩散部位是颈部区域淋巴结病。肺是远处转移最常见的部位,占远处转移的66%。其他转移部位包括骨(22%)、肝(10%)、皮肤、纵隔和骨髓。远处转移的发生对生存率有不利影响,并完全改变治疗计划,更多地倾向于姑息治疗目的。在此,我们报告一例喉SCC患者出现非常罕见的恶性腹水表现的病例。
