is seen. Immunohistochemical studies revealed tumour cells were highlighted with cytokeratin stain (AE1/AE3) but negative for CD3, CD20, CD30, CK7, CK20, TTF-1, HMB45 and Ki67. These findings support the diagnosis of metastatic undifferentiated carcinoma with possible primary tumour at head and neck…
