Published in: European Archives of Oto-Rhino-Laryngology | Issue 9/2006

Abstract

An uncommon presentation of prostate carcinoma to the supraclavicular lymph nodes is herein reviewed. With prompt diagnosis and treatment, patient survival can be extended. A high index of suspicion is necessary to make the diagnosis. The clinical features of four cases involving metastatic prostate carcinoma will be discussed.
