Squamous cell carcinoma of the maxillary antrum metastatic to the heart and skin
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 29 June 2007
Abstract
A case of squamous cell carcinoma of the maxillary antrum is presented in which autopsy examination revealed widespread disseminated disease including metastatic deposits in the unusual sites of the myocardium and skin. Apart from the skin deposit the metastases were clinically unsuspected. This case demonstrates the role of the autopsy in the study of malignancy and the possible effects of local disease control on the natural history of the disease process.
