Distant metastases from carcinoma of the palatine tonsil are very uncommon. We encountered a case of a carcinoma involving the tonsillar region that resulted in subarachnoid mestastases following local radical radiotherapy. Metastases were diagnosed following magnetic resonance imaging and spinal fluid cytology. The patient succumbed to the disease after a rapid downhill course, 1 month following diagnosis of the secondary deposit. The present paper describes the rare site of distant metastasis and reviews the relevant literature.
