抄録

We experienced a case of hepatocellular carcinoma metastasized to the palatine tonsil. The patient was a 55-year-old man. His chief complaint was pharyngeal discomfort. An exophytic tumorous mass was found occupying the left palatine tonsil. We conducted a biopsy. The pathology was not squamous cell carcinoma nor malignant lymphoma, therefore, we conducted various immunostainings. It was finally diagnosed as metastasis from hepatocellular carcinoma. Subsequent examinations identified that the tumor had invaded the entire liver. This tumor is likely to metastasize through the hematogenous pathway. In general, metastasis to the head and neck region from any systemic primary tumor indicates a poor prognosis. However, treatment options should not be excluded, especially if the QOL of the patient can be improved.
