Metastatic Location

Abstract Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the colon is a rare malignant tumor occurring as either a primary or secondary lesion. Few cases of metastatic or secondary colonic SCC have been published. We report an unusual case of a 59-year-old female patient who was treated by Wertheim hysterectomy and adjuvant chemoradiation for stage IIB SCC of the uterine cervix. Two years later, she developed a metastatic location in the caecum causing an acute intestinal obstruction. She underwent an emergency open right hemicolectomy with ileocolic anastomosis and resection of two nodules of the umbilicus and the right parietal peritoneum. Histopathological examination confirmed a triple metastatic location of SCC. She is disease-free 11 months after surgery. We discuss the clinicopathological features, management strategies, and the prognosis of this rare entity.

Malignant Condition

Squamous cell carcinoma of the colon is a rare tumor and primary cecal localization is unusual. This malignant condition is marked by a worst prognosis due to early local invasion. We report a case of a 46-year-old female patient admitted to the emergency department with symptoms of peritonitis. CT scan showed a cecal tumor perforated in the retroperitoneal space. The patient underwent right hemicolectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy without intestinal anastomosis. The diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma was confirmed by histopathological examination. Squamous cell carcinoma is a malignant tumor with poor prognosis, hence, the interest of early diagnosis and management.

Spread of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) commonly occurs vialocal lymphatic channels. Owing to scanty lymphatic drainage and vascular supply, SCC arising from the glottis rarely metastasizes. A 39-year-old male, operated for SCC of the glottis, presented 13 months later with complaints of headache. Computed tomography revealed a single ring-enhancing lesion in the right temporo-parietal region of the brain, suggestive of brain abscess. However, histopathological examination of the excised brain lesion showed metastasis of moderately differentiated SCC. Here, we report a rarecase of distant hematogenous brain metastasis of SCC of the glottis. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/ajms.v5i1.5205 Asian Journal of Medical Science Vol.5(1) 2014 pp.77-80

Malignant tumors of the hand are rare. Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is the most common tumor that can develop at the nail bed. However, its prevalence is extremely rare. We report a male patient with SCC in the middle finger and provide a review of related literature. A 70-year-old male patient presented with subungal exudate of the right middle finger for 2 years. The lesion was treated by the patient himself without any relief. He visited the other hospital and underwent removal of the affected fingernail followed by histopathological examination. An extended excision was performed to remove the lesion located in close proximity with the distal phalanx along with a portion of the phalangeal soft tissues. The tumor shows malignant squamous sheets and nests with invasive growth pattern and pleomorphism. At the 6-month postoperative follow-up, neither symptom relapse nor other complications were observed. Various types of skin cancers, such as SCCs and malignant melanomas, can develop in the hand. However, their incidence is extremely rare. In particular, subungal lesions, which may be mistaken as fungal nail infections, require histopathological examination if they respond only slowly to treatment.

Introduction: Oral papillary squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) is a rare variant of squamous cell carcinoma with an unusual presentation in the palate. Observation: This case report presents a 68 year old male who reported with pain in the roof of the jaw for the past one month. The patient gave a history of a small ulcer over the right palatal region since a year which gradually increased in size. History also revealed that he was a tobacco chewer for around five years and had quit the habit one year back. Clinically, a proliferative growth in the right palatal region was apparent. The growth was firm in consistency and had well-defined borders that crossed the midline of palate. Based on the noticeable clinical signs, the case was provisionally diagnosed as verrucous carcinoma. Histopathology report of the incisional biopsy confirmed the case to be non-invasive oral papillary squamous cell carcinoma. Commentary: OPSCC displays either a papillary variant or exophytic pattern. It has a better prognosis than squamous cell carcinoma of similar clinical stage but is worse than verrucous carcinoma. Conclusion: Since OPSCC may mimic other benign conditions of oral cavity, evaluation of clinical parameters that are associated with the risk of carcinoma is mandatory. This article highlights the significance of histopathological examination that aids the clinician to arrive at a diagnosis for any suspicious papillary lesions.

Introduction: Skin graft reconstruction is a common method of providing wound coverage. Rarely, skin grafting can be associated with the development of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in the graft donor site. Case Report: The patient is a 72-year old male with a 15-year history of bilateral hip wounds. He underwent a multitude of treatments previously with failed reconstructive efforts. After presenting to us, he underwent multiple debridements and eventual skin grafting. Within 4 weeks of the final skin graft, a mass developed at the skin graft donor site at the right thigh. Excisional biopsy returned a well differentiated keratinizing SCC. Discussion/Conclusion: This case demonstrates the acute presentation of SCC in a patient following a skin graft without known risk factors. The purpose of this unique case report is to highlight a very rare occurrence of SCC at a skin graft donor site.
