Persistent infection with oncogenic human papillomaviruses (HPVs) is the main cause of nearly all cervical cancers as well as of a significant proportion of other malignancies arising from the mucosal squamous epithelia of the anogenital tract as well as of the head and neck region [1]. [...]

No evidence of oncogenic KRAS mutations in squamous cell carcinomas of the anogenital tract and head and neck region independent of human papillomavirus and p16INK4a status

Previously Treated

Cutaneous metastases from squamous cell carcinomas of the head and neck region are uncommon, and their location at the nasal tip is exceptionally rare. A patient, previously treated with surgery and chemoradiation for a hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma, developed several red nodular skin lesions at the nasal tip. Biopsy revealed cutaneous metastasis from the primary tumor. This manifestation was previously described as a “clown nose,” given their appearance and location. Skin lesions should raise suspicion of malignancy, despite their location at uncommon places, particularly in patients with previous diagnosed cancer. Clinicians must be aware that metastases from head and neck cancer can present as a “clown nose.”
