Grouped skin metastases from laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma and overview of similar cases.
Cutaneous metastases from internal malignancies or primary skin cancers are uncommon, particularly in a grouped pattern. We report a 58-year-old man with a known case of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma who underwent radiotherapy after surgical excision of the tumor. Unilateral, grouped, red-brown, vesicle-like nodules appeared on his shoulder 9 months after the laryngeal surgery. The pathologic diagnosis of an excised nodule was metastatic squamous cell carcinoma.
