Background In-transit metastases are dermal and subcutanous metastatic foci located between the tumor and the closest regional lymph node. Although in-transit metastasis has been commonly described for malignant melanoma, there have been some reports of in-transit metastases arising from primary cutaneous malignancies. The risk of development of in-transit metastases is higher in patients with high-risk squamous cell carcinoma. Case Report We present a case of in-transit metastasis in a nonimmunosuppressed patient with a primary cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma.

AbstractWe describe multiple cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas of the head and neck in five patients with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL). When associated with CLL, cutaneous squamous cell carcinomata behave in a much more aggressive manner than otherwise expected. Four patients developed local recurrence after primary treatment. All five patients developed lymph node metastases containing squamous cell carcinoma. Three of five patients (60 per cent) had multiple primary lesions.Whereas the increased incidence of second cancers in CLL and notably of skin cancers is documented, little has been written to describe the aggressive behaviour of these tumours. It is important, when treating these patients, to be aware of the high tendency towards local recurrence and lymph node metastasis and to consider an aggressive management plan and careful follow-up.
