However, distant metastasis are showing an increasing trend due to the improved locoregional control rates achieved with surgery and radiotherapy. The usual sites of distant failure are lung, liver, bone, adrenal, heart and kidney. Here is presented a case of buccal SCC presenting with unusual distant soft tissue mets after several years of diagnosis. Keywords: Squamous cell carcinoma, distant metastasis, diagnosis

The purpose of this article is to review the reconstructive indications of the flap in head and neck defects. This is a retrospective study of 194 consecutive ALT flaps. Data including patient characteristics (age, sex, comorbidities), disease characteristics (histology, T stage), and flap characteristics (size of the flap, type of closure of ALT donor site) were collected. The outcome in terms of flap success rate, surgical, and donor site morbidity were studied. A total of 194 flaps were performed in 193 patients over a period of 10 years. Mean age of the patients was 55 years (range 16-80 years). Out of the 193 patients, 91 (47.1%) patients had oromandibular defects, 52 (26.9%) had tongue defects, 15 (7.7%) had pharyngeal defects, 17 (8.8%) had skull base defects, 4 (2%) had scalp defects, and 14 (7.2%) had contour defects of the neck. The overall flap success rate was 95.8% (8 total flap loss out...
