We report a 71-year-old male patient with five separate primary metachronous squamous cell carcinomas of the head and neck (parotid, tongue, soft palate, larynx and hypopharynx) that occurred over a period of 8 years. The long survival of the patient after discovery of his first neoplasm (parotid) is the result of careful vigilance during the follow-up period and diligently planned therapies for each of his multiple primary tumors after radical surgery had been performed on his first neoplasm.
