Rapidly Growing Neck Metastasis in Immunodeficiency

Abstract

Nabeel Zahid Ilyas, Chris Bowles and Peter A Brennan

An 80-year-old fit male with known long-standing stable chronic lymphatic leukaemia (CLL) presented with a rapidly enlarging left neck mass. The mass invaded the neck skin and began to fungate reaching to 10 cm in less than 3 weeks. Whilst head and neck skin SCC can metastasise to the regional lymph nodes (including to the contra-lateral side) rapid growth as occurred in this case is exceptionally rare and to our knowledge has not been previously reported.
