Abstract

Laryngeal cancers constitute 2-5% of all cancers, and 45% of all head and neck cancers. Acantholytic squamous cell carcinoma (ASCC), also known as adenoid squamous cell carcinoma, is a rarely observed histological subtype of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). While they are rarely seen in the digestive and respiratory tracts, their course tends to be more aggressive. Furthermore, while head and neck squamous cell carcinoma tend to have a low rate of distant metastasis, the lungs are still the most common target organs involved by metastasis. Metastasis from the laryngeal region to soft tissues, skin and adrenal areas is rarely encountered.

Keywords:Acantholytic squamous cell cancer; Soft tissue metastasis
