To assess the pattern of regional metastases from SCC of the skin of the head and neck as a prognostic factor.
A retrospective chart review of 22 patients treated in a tertiary academic center.
Metastases could be assessed clinically in the parotid gland and the neck in 50% and 59% of the patients, respectively. Histologic examination showed metastases in the parotid gland and the neck in 68% and 45.5%, respectively. Occult disease was 36% and 20% in the parotid gland and neck, respectively. The 1st echelon for metastasis was the parotid gland lymph nodes, whereas level II lymph nodes were the 1st echelon in the neck. Metastases to both the parotid gland and neck decreased the overall survival to 0, compared with 60% for metastases to the parotid gland and 100% for the neck.
SCC of the skin of the head and neck with regional metastases has a high incidence of occult metastases in the parotid gland and the neck. Patients with metastases in both sites have a poor prognosis.
评估头颈部皮肤鳞状细胞癌区域转移模式作为预后因素的情况。
对一家三级学术中心治疗的22例患者进行回顾性病历审查。
分别有50%和59%的患者可在临床上评估腮腺和颈部的转移情况。组织学检查显示,腮腺和颈部转移的发生率分别为68%和45.5%。腮腺和颈部的隐匿性疾病分别为36%和20%。转移的第一梯队是腮腺淋巴结,而颈部的第一梯队是Ⅱ区淋巴结。与腮腺转移患者的总生存率为60%、颈部转移患者的总生存率为100%相比,腮腺和颈部均发生转移的患者总生存率降至0。
伴有区域转移的头颈部皮肤鳞状细胞癌在腮腺和颈部有较高的隐匿性转移发生率。两个部位均发生转移的患者预后较差。
