Laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in adolescents is a rare clinical entity and behaves aggressively. The mechanism of laryngeal oncogenesis is complex. Further studies need to be done to know the role that human papilloma virus plays in laryngeal SCC in adolescents.We report a rare case of laryngeal SCC in a 12-year-old boy presenting with cutaneous forehead metastasis.
