  • Title: Cutaneous metastases from a hypopharyngeal malignancy.
    Author: Durvasula VS, Mahendran S, Grant JW, Jani P.
    Journal: J Laryngol Otol; 2005 Apr; 119(4):319-21. PubMed ID: 15949091.
    Abstract:
    We present an unusual case of carcinoma of the piriform fossa, presenting with cutaneous metastases. These metastases are very rare, present in the late stages of disease, and are usually associated with distant metastases and poor prognosis. They often suggest aggressive disease. We believe that cutaneous metastases from a malignancy in the piriform fossa are more unusual than those from other sites of the head and neck.
