Abstract
Usual sites of the spread of the squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) larynx is regional-cervical lymphadenopathy. The lung is the most frequent site of distant metastasis, accounting for 66% of distant metastasis. Other metastatic sites include bone (22%), liver (10%), skin, mediastinum, and bone marrow. Occurrence of distant metastasis adversely affects the survival and alters the treatment planning completely, more towards palliative intent. Here, we present a case with very rare presentation of malignant ascites in a case of SCC larynx.Entities:
