The Delphian nodes (DNs) are frequently involved in cancers of the head and neck, including laryngeal and thyroid malignancies. Positivity in the DN has been considered a predictor of recurrence as well as an overall aggressive tumor biology. However, little has been written regarding the consequences of recurrence at the site of the DN. We present two case reports regarding recurrence in the DN and the unique challenges associated with DN metastases. In addition, we discuss our surgical approach to disease at the prelaryngeal space, including workup, imaging, and resection.
德尔菲恩结(DNs)常累及头颈部癌症,包括喉癌和甲状腺恶性肿瘤。DNs呈阳性一直被视为复发的预测指标以及肿瘤整体侵袭性生物学行为的指标。然而,关于DNs部位复发的后果却鲜有报道。我们呈现两例关于DNs复发及与DNs转移相关的独特挑战的病例报告。此外,我们还讨论了针对喉前间隙疾病的手术方法,包括检查、影像学检查和切除术。
