Abstract
A case of sarcoma of the lower lip is reported in a man 53 years old. The lesion was removed surgically two months after it was first noticed. Cervical metastasis appeared four months later, without recurrence at the operative site. In the course of the ensuing eight months this metastatic mass attained a diameter of 15 cm., and the overlying skin sloughed away, leaving a wide, deep, bleeding crater. Neoplastic thrombosis of the left external jugular vein and pulmonary metastases were found at autopsy. Death occurred fourteen months after the primary lesion was noticed and eight months after metastasis became manifest. Deep Roentgenray therapy was without apparent effect on the growth of the metastatic cervical mass.
