Soft Tissue Metastases in Head and Neck Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Soft tissue metastases (STM) in head and neck cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (HNcSCC) are non‐nodal based metastases to the parotid and cervical soft tissues of the head and neck. This is a unique subgroup of regional metastases amongst patients with cSCC and have been shown to be associated with poor prognosis. Detailed studies of this subgroup are lacking in the literature. A retrospective cohort analysis was performed to characterize the prognostic significance of STM in HNcSCC based on individual clinicopathological features.
