Abstract
Involvement of the larynx with metastatic disease is a rare occurrence. Batson's plexus was first proposed to explain metastatic disease to the head and neck from distant primaries, but more recent studies suggest that tumor cells in the thoracic duct may spread to the cervical region by way of retrograde flow through afferent cervical lymphatic vessels.Keywords
