Prostate carcinoma metastatic to the cervical lymph nodes: report of two cases and review of the literature

Author(s): Copeland B, Clark JM, Sura A, Kilpatrick SE, Shockley W, et al.

Abstract

The cervical lymph nodes are a common site of metastasis for cancers originating in the upper aerodigestive tract. Rarely, cancers originating from sites other than the head and neck can metastasize to the cervical lymph node chain. We report on 2 recent patients with metastatic prostate cancer to the cervical lymph nodes.
