Abstract
A case of squamous cell carcinoma of the maxillary antrum is presented in which autopsy examination revealed widespread disseminated disease including metastatic deposits in the unusual sites of the myocardium and skin. Apart from the skin deposit the metastases were clinically u nsuspected. This case demonstrates the role of the autopsy in the stud y of malignancy and the possible effects of local disease control on t he natural history of the disease process.
