Distant metastases from carcinomas of the oral cavity are rare. Detection of these metastasis are essential for staging and management of the patient. These tumours may metastasize to lung, liver, brain and bone; but pleural involvement by squamous-cell carcinoma is distinctly rare. We present a case of bilateral pleural effusion arising from distant metastasis of squamous-cell carcinoma detected on cytology.
口腔癌远处转移较为罕见。检测这些转移对于患者的分期和治疗管理至关重要。这些肿瘤可能转移到肺、肝、脑和骨,但鳞状细胞癌累及胸膜的情况则明显少见。我们报告一例因远处转移的鳞状细胞癌而引起双侧胸腔积液的病例,细胞学检查发现了这一情况。
