Many studies have reported on the incidence and location of metastases from squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck; these studies rarely comment on the incidence of cutaneous metastases. Several studies have analyzed dermal metastases from all carcinomas. Specific issues pertaining to dermal metastases from head and neck carcinomas remain poorly defined. An extensive literature review was performed, and information on similar patients followed up at our institutions was compiled in an attempt to further identify the characteristics of this unique group. Speculation on the mechanisms of these metastases is included.
许多研究报告了头颈部鳞状细胞癌转移的发生率和部位；这些研究很少提及皮肤转移的发生率。有几项研究分析了所有癌症的皮肤转移情况。关于头颈部癌症皮肤转移的具体问题仍未明确界定。我们进行了广泛的文献综述，并收集了在我们机构接受随访的类似患者的信息，试图进一步确定这一独特群体的特征。文中还包括了对这些转移机制的推测。
