ICC, a type of primary liver cancer, originates from the secondary intrahepatic bile ducts to the smallest branches of the intrahepatic bile ducts and is characterized by high invasiveness and metastatic potential. Common metastatic sites include the liver, lungs, and bones, with the skeleton being the third most common site of liver cancer metastasis. The 2-year survival rate for patients with bone metastases is less than 5%. At diagnosis, the patient had multiple bone metastases and later developed small nodules in both lower lungs and tonsillar metastasis during treatment. Immunohistochemistry and genetic testing supported the diagnosis of ICC metastasis. The patient underwent comprehensive antitumor therapy, including chemotherapy, immunotherapy combined with targeted therapy, radiotherapy, and supportive care. Ultimately, the patient succumbed to complications such as widespread metastasis and respiratory failure. This case underscores the high invasiveness and diverse metastatic pathways of ICC, highlighting the need for clinicians to consider rare metastatic sites and to employ multidisciplinary treatment strategies.展开更多

The prognosis of metastatic palatine tonsil cancer is poor. A 53-year-old man presented with painless left palatine tonsillar swelling and a cervical mass following right hemicolectomy for an ascending colon adenocarcinoma. Physical examination showed an ulcerated mass located on the upper pole of the left palatine tonsil. A punch biopsy was taken for histological examination which showed a moderately- differentiated adenocarcinoma. The patient was treated with palliative radiotherapy and chemotherapy. He was still alive when we wrote this paper. Our case shows that immunohistochemical diagnosis of metastatic palatine tonsil cancer is essential.展开更多
