Abstract

We describe the first case of ethmoid metastasis from an oropharyngeal human papillomavirus-induced squamous cell carcinoma using the anti-P16 immunohistochemistry. The p16 overexpression can be a valuable aid in the differential diagnosis.

Keywords: HPV; ethmoid; metastasis; oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma.
