Prostate cancer usually metastasizes to the regional lymph nodes, and distal metastases to supraclavicular lymph nodes are rarely reported, especially as an initial presentation. Limited case reports describe cervical lymphadenopathy as the initial presentation of metastatic prostate cancer, and often with widely disseminated disease. Patients with this initial presentation rarely undergo digital rectal examination or serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level measurement as part of their initial investigations. A high index of suspicion is necessary to make the diagnosis of prostate cancer in this clinical setting. We present a rare case of prostate carcinoma presenting with supraclavicular lymph node enlargement at the initial diagnosis. A review of the relevant literature is provided.
前列腺癌通常转移至区域淋巴结,而远处转移至锁骨上淋巴结的情况鲜有报道,尤其是作为首发表现时。有限的病例报告将颈部淋巴结病描述为转移性前列腺癌的首发表现,且往往伴有广泛播散性疾病。有这种首发表现的患者在初始检查时很少接受直肠指检或血清前列腺特异性抗原(PSA)水平检测。在这种临床情况下,高度怀疑对于诊断前列腺癌很有必要。我们报告一例罕见的前列腺癌病例,其在初次诊断时即表现为锁骨上淋巴结肿大。并提供了相关文献综述。
