TONSILLAR METASTASIS FROM SARCOMATOID CARCINOMA LUNG: A RARE PRESENTATION

Аннотация

Tonsillar metastasis from sarcomatoid carcinoma of the lung is an exceedingly rare occurrence. We present a case of a 62-year-old male with a known history of sarcomatoid carcinoma of the lung who presented with progressive dysphagia and a mass in the left tonsil. The patient underwent biopsy of the tonsillar mass, which revealed metastatic sarcomatoid carcinoma. To the best of our knowledge, this is one of the few reported cases of tonsillar metastasis from sarcomatoid carcinoma of the lung. This case highlights the importance of considering distant metastasis in patients with a history of sarcomatoid carcinoma of the lung who present with atypical symptoms. KEYWORDS Tonsillar metastasis, sarcomatoid carcinoma, lung cancer, rare presentation, dysphagia, distant metastasis.
