Prostate cancer is the most common cancer among men, with the most common metastatic sites in bone, regional lymph nodes, liver and thorax. It is most commonly diagnosed in the early stages with clinical findings of enlarged prostate on digital rectal exam and positive prostate specific antigen. Distant metastases associated with prostate cancer commonly occur to bone. It is imperative to be cautious in assuming primary breast, lung or head and neck malignancy in patients presenting with lymphadenopathy in the upper aerodigestive pathways. Cervical lymphadenopathy due to prostate cancer is becoming more prevalent since previously reported. Here we present a case of prostate cancer recurrence found through metastasis to supraclavicular lymph nodes and we also highlight homeobox protein CDX2 as a potential clinico-pathological marker in metastatic prostate cancer.
前列腺癌是男性中最常见的癌症,最常见的转移部位是骨骼、区域淋巴结、肝脏和胸部。其最常在早期通过直肠指检发现前列腺肿大及前列腺特异性抗原呈阳性的临床表现而被诊断出来。与前列腺癌相关的远处转移通常发生在骨骼。对于上呼吸道消化道出现淋巴结病的患者,在假设其为原发性乳腺癌、肺癌或头颈部恶性肿瘤时必须谨慎。自先前报道以来,因前列腺癌导致的颈部淋巴结病正变得越来越普遍。在此,我们报告一例通过锁骨上淋巴结转移发现的前列腺癌复发病例,并且我们还强调了同源盒蛋白CDX2作为转移性前列腺癌潜在的临床病理标志物。
