ABSTRACT

Axillary node metastasis of head and neck squamous cell cancer is uncommon. We experienced a case of 68-year-old man who presented as 6- months history of a hoarseness. The pathologic diagnosis was squamous cell carcinoma of glottis. He was treated by conventional radiotherapy 6520 cGY for 6 weeks. However, at 3 weeks after completion of radiotherapy, ipsilateral axillary metastasis was detected and progressed to death. We report this case with a review of literature.
