Abstract
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.
