Prostate carcinoma is one of the most common cancers in males all around the world. Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma is amongst the leading carcinoma (HNSCC) in men especially in the sub-continent. There are around 150 lymph nodes on either side in the neck and cervical lymph nodes are a common site for head and neck malignancies to metastasize however carcinoma of prostate may in rare cases metastasize to cervical chain, therefore warranting a neck dissection. In case of unknown primary of head and neck extensive work up is required to find the primary site. Our case provided a similar picture with a single enlarged node which on biopsy to our surprise revealed adenocarcinoma of prostate.
前列腺癌是全球男性中最常见的癌症之一。头颈部鳞状细胞癌是男性主要的癌症(HNSCC)之一,尤其是在次大陆地区。颈部两侧大约有150个淋巴结,颈部淋巴结是头颈部恶性肿瘤常见的转移部位,然而前列腺癌在罕见情况下可能转移至颈部淋巴结链,因此需要进行颈部清扫术。在头颈部原发灶不明的情况下,需要进行广泛检查以找到原发部位。我们的病例呈现出类似情况,有一个肿大的淋巴结,活检结果令我们惊讶,显示为前列腺腺癌。
