| Popis: |
A 50-year-old patient was referred to our service for the investigation of oropharynx cancer and was diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma. Although there were no signs of distant metastasis, the disease was given as unresectable. The patient was treated with induction chemotherapy followed by chemoradiotherapy. After a trauma episode, the patient had pain in the right hand, being investigated with magnetic resonance, which demonstrated lesion of soft parts and bone structures. Additionally, in staging examinations, pulmonary metastasis was observed. Of the patients with oropharynx squamous carcinoma, approximately 15 to 20% develop metastases throughout the course of the disease, and metastases in soft parts are rare (less than 10% of those with known distance disease). |
