Case ReportsAcrometastasis of Laryngeal Carcinoma to the Finger.
Distant metastasis of laryngeal carcinoma occurs at the rate of 4%-12%, with the most common sites being the lungs, liver and bone. Acrometastasis occurs rarely in cases of laryngeal carcinoma; to date, only three cases of acrometastasis have been reported. Herein, we describe a 66-year male, who was followed up for metastatic laryngeal carcinoma and developed paronychia. ⋯ In such cases, finger amputation or local radiotherapy are recommended. Clinicians should be aware when treating metastatic laryngeal cancer that such atypical lesions as paronychia can be associated with the primary tumour. Key Words: Acrometastasis, Laryngeal carcinoma, Finger, Metastasis.
