We report the case of a 55 year old gentleman who presented with a right upper lung lesion diagnosed as poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinoma and was treated with concurrent chemo radiation therapy followed by adjuvant chemotherapy.
The combination therapy of the epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitor, cetuximab (Cmab), and paclitaxel (PTX) can be possibility effective for treatment of large cervical lymph-node metastasis.

The patient was a 55-year-old female with a chief complaint of left-tongue pain...
