Cervical lymph nodes are a common site of metastases for malignant tumors, most commonly developed from head and neck primary tumors. But, they can also be secondary to distant primary tumors. We report the case of two patients treated in our Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck department for chronic supraclavicular lymphadenopathies, for whom further investigations showed lymph node metastasis originating from distant tumors. Thus, careful clinical examination, imaging tools, and if possible pathological analysis are necessary to establish an early diagnosis for adequate treatment.
颈部淋巴结是恶性肿瘤常见的转移部位，最常见于头颈部原发性肿瘤。但是，它们也可能继发于远处的原发性肿瘤。我们报告了两例在我们耳鼻喉科和头颈科接受治疗的慢性锁骨上淋巴结病患者，进一步检查显示淋巴结转移源自远处肿瘤。因此，仔细的临床检查、影像学检查工具以及可能的病理分析对于早期诊断以进行适当治疗是必要的。
