Abstract

Thyroid metastasis is rarely diagnosed, and the treatment outcomes in p16-positive oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma patients with rare thyroid metastasis have not been fully investigated. Here we describe the case of a patient with p16-positive oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma who was diagnosed with cT4 N2M1 with rare thyroid metastasis. The patient was a current smoker and was positive for human papillomavirus DNA, with disease progression at 49 days and death at 113 days after completion of cisplatin-based concurrent chemoradiotherapy.
