AI Article Synopsis
- A 66-year-old man with squamous cell carcinoma of the alveolus experienced no local recurrence after treatment.
- Metastatic spread to the middle phalanx of the middle finger is an uncommon occurrence in head and neck cancers.
- This case highlights the rarity of phalanx involvement by metastatic head and neck tumors.
Article Abstract
Metastatic involvement of a phalanx by head and neck cancers is rare. We report a case of a 66-year-old man with squamous cell carcinoma of the alveolus who had no residual disease or local recurrence after treatment but presented with metastasis to the middle phalanx of the middle finger.

Introduction: Sarcomas of the head and neck region account for less than 10% of soft tissue sarcomas, and comprise less than 1% of head and neck malignancies. Approximately 80% of sarcomas arise from soft tissue, with the remaining originating from bone or cartilage. Head and neck sarcomas typically occur more frequently in men.

Oral metastasis from the colon is quite rare with limited reporting and scientific evidence. The most common metastasis from colorectal cancer is to the liver followed by lungs, bones, and other organs. However rare occurrences like metastasis to the oral cavity might worsen the prognosis and treatment outcome.

Gingivobuccal cancer encompasses a group of malignancies that affect the alveolus, retromolar trigone, buccal mucosa, and gingivobuccal sulcus (GBS). Among these, GBS carcinoma is the most prevalent malignant tumor found in the oral cavity. We present the case of a 56-year-old male who experienced pain in his right cheek for two months and was subsequently diagnosed with GBS cancer in the right buccal region, leading to surgical intervention.

Background Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the maxillary alveolus and hard palate is a rare site for oral cavity carcinoma. Much controversy is there regarding the management of this site and elective neck dissection due to rarity and complex lymphatic drainage. Objective To estimate the prevalence of neck nodal metastasis in squamous cell carcinoma of maxillary alveolus and hard palate and the factors influencing the nodal metastasis.

Background: Precancerous and malignant tumours arise within the oral cavity from a predisposed "field" of epithelial cells upon exposure to carcinogenic stimulus. This phenomenon is known as "Field Cancerization". The molecular genomic and transcriptomic alterations that lead to field cancerization and tumour progression is unknown in Indian Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) patients.
