Presentation
We present here a case of 30-year-old female who presented with isolated right axillary lymph node metastasis with no evidence of primary tumor clinically. Conventional imaging modalities were negative for primary site. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

- Axillary Lymphadenopathy
In physical examination, he had a 3x2cm right axillary lymphadenopathy (LAP) and bilaterally cervical LAPs. An exisional cervical LAP biopsy histopathology revealed undifferentiated carcinoma metastasis. [actaoncologicaturcica.com]
Entire Body System
- Axillary Mass
Nasopharynx carcinoma presenting with distant lymphadenopathy (LAP) rather than a prominent nasopharyngeal mass is not common.We describe a 48-year old man admitted to the hospital with cervical and right axillary mass. [actaoncologicaturcica.com]

Skin
- Subcutaneous Mass
Two subcutaneous masses of 2 cm × 1 cm were found below the original incision 10 months after the operation, and regional lymphadenectomy was performed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Face, Head & Neck
- Neck Mass
NPC and CCUP are both with the neck mass as the first complaint, so there are relatively many CCUP patients diagnosed in our center. [onlinelibrary.wiley.com]
Workup
Diagnostic workup revealed a (68)Ga-labeled prostate-specific membrane antigen-targeted ligand tracer uptaking nodule that was initially interpreted as lymph node metastasis but eventually identified as a splenunculus by scintigraphy with (99m)Tc pertechnetate-labeled [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Diagnostic workup and staging Diagnostic workup included complete medical history, physical examination, and hematological examination including tumor biomarker, anti‐Epstein–Barr virus antibody, and Epstein–Barr virus DNA. [onlinelibrary.wiley.com]
Preoperative US, neck CT, and CT-guided US were performed and reported independently for the staging workup. Each of the patients underwent surgery for thyroid papillary cancer within one month of the preoperative exam. [e-ultrasonography.org]
Microbiology
- Helicobacter Pylori
Some infections are associated with an increased risk of lymphoma, including the Epstein-Barr virus and Helicobacter pylori infection. Lymphoma care at Mayo Clinic Oct. 17, 2019 Lymphoma — Hodgkin. [mayoclinic.org]
Treatment
Regional lymph node metastasis was identified after additional surgical treatment. After surgical treatment, our patient received chemotherapy consisting of etoposide and carboplatin for 3 months. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
In the present study, we investigated whether adequate LN retrieval (≥15) was necessary to evaluate the prognosis of patients and attempted to propose an appropriate cutoff-point for the number of RLNs. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Etiology
Castleman disease is a rare lymphoproliferative disorder which etiology is unknown. It is divided into 2 subtypes: the plasma cell variant and the hyaline vascular variant. The most common site is the hilum of the lungs and mediastinum. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

METHODS: Patients underwent resection and at least one lymph node examined were identified from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Pathophysiology
Pathophysiology The clinical manifestations of cutaneous tuberculosis primarily depend on the mode of infection, previous sensitization, and the immune status of the host. The mode of infection may be exogenous, autoinoculation, or endogenous. [dermatologyadvisor.com]
Pathophysiology[edit] Metastatic tumors are very common in the late stages of cancer. The spread of metastasis may occur via the blood or the lymphatics or through both routes. [en.wikipedia.org]
Prevention
However, whether undergoing prophylactic central lymph node (CLN) dissection or lateral lymph node (LLN) dissections to prevent metastasis is still controversial. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
For decades, the oncology community has focused on adjuvant therapies in an effort to prevent distant metastasis. [cancerres.aacrjournals.org]
