Head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) are common malignancies that can metastasize to various distant sites. Cardiac metastasis (CM) from a primary HNSCC is an extremely rare finding that presents a significant challenge due to its association with a poor prognosis and limited treatment options. Due to their rare occurrence, there is no clear consensus on how to diagnose and manage such cases. In this article, we review a patient with complicated CM from buccal squamous cell carcinoma, which was incidentally detected by fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG PET/CT).
头颈部鳞状细胞癌(HNSCC)是常见的恶性肿瘤,可转移至各种远处部位。原发性HNSCC发生心脏转移(CM)极为罕见,因其与预后不良和治疗选择有限相关,故面临重大挑战。由于其罕见性,对于如何诊断和处理此类病例尚无明确共识。在本文中,我们回顾了1例来自颊部鳞状细胞癌的复杂性CM患者,该患者通过氟脱氧葡萄糖正电子发射断层扫描/计算机断层扫描(FDG PET/CT)偶然发现。
