Abstract

 

Cancer of the oral cavity makes up approximately 30% of all head and neck region tumors. Skin metastasis usually occurs in the face and neck i.e near primary site. It’s very rare to metastasis to anterior abdominal wall from carcinoma of tongue. We reported a case of carcinoma tongue, post total glossectomy and bilateral neck dissection followed by adjuvant EBRT (External beam radiotherapy) with concurrent chemotherapy (inj. Cisplatin) presented with Recurrent  metastasic lesion at anterior abdominal wall along with bilateral  lung metastasis.

Keywords: anterior abdominal wall recurrence, carcinoma tongue, total glossectomy, EBRT.
