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]

-
Inguinal Mass
The patient had a history of abdominal wall endometriosis and recently developed symptoms of urgent urination and inguinal mass. Physical examination and a computed tomography (CT) scan detected lymph node metastasis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
She came to our institute with a fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) report of well differentiated papillary adenocarcinoma from the inguinal mass. On clinical examination, we discovered that she had left sided pedal oedema. [hoajonline.com]

Burning Pain
The patient was a 58-year-old man, complaints of intermittent burning pain in his both ears for 2 years, and for the recent one month the pain turn to continuous accompanied with a mild discomfort in the throat, he had neither hoarseness, dysphagia, nor [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Varicella-Zoster Virus Infection
Abstract Herpes zoster is a reactivated varicella-zoster virus infection and demonstrates typical dermatomal distribution. We herein describe a case of a 41-year-old woman with a history of ovarian cancer. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The presence of metastatic cervical lymphadenopathy is of particular importance as with every single nodal metastasis, survival of the patient is reduced by one half. [ccij-online.org]

Sternoclavicular Joint Pain
Abstract A 73-year-old man complained of sternoclavicular joint pain; blood tests revealed elevated C-reactive protein. The patient developed delirium; magnetic resonance imaging showed metastatic bone tumors. He died two weeks after admission. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
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]

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]
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]

Epidemiology
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]
We included 2994 patients with primary NPC diagnosed between 2006 and 2015 with information in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. [hindawi.com]

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]
