Cutaneous metastasis are uncommon and account for only 2% of all skin cancers, but are extremely rare in hypopharyngeal carcinomas. Although often associated with advanced cancer, cutaneous metastasis can be the first indication of relapse or treatment failure. Additionally, the clinical presentation is widely variable, which can make an early diagnosis difficult. New skin lesions should be evaluated in cancer patients to rule out metastases. Herein, we present a patient with an unusual cutaneous metastasis as the first sign of recurrence of a hypopharyngeal carcinoma.
皮肤转移并不常见，仅占所有皮肤癌的 2%，但在下咽癌中极为罕见。尽管皮肤转移通常与晚期癌症相关，但它也可能是癌症复发或治疗失败的首个迹象。此外，其临床表现变化广泛，这可能使早期诊断变得困难。对于癌症患者，应评估新出现的皮肤病变以排除转移。在此，我们报告了 1 例罕见的皮肤转移，其为下咽癌复发的首个征象。
