Abstract
Acral metastasis from head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) presents rarely. We are describing a case who presented with numerous metastasis involving the right palm, distal phalanges, and subungual metastasis. This brief report reflects the importance to increase clinical awareness of metastatic spread of head and neck cancer to unusual sites in the setting of increasing cancer survivorship.
