Most of the head and neck metastatic masses originate from the upper respiratory tracts. Urogynecologic cancers are rarely seen in distant organ metastases. Metastasis of gynecologic malignancies is usually associated with left supraclavicular lymph node involvement due to lymphatic system drainage. In supraclavicular lymph node metastases, cases with primary endometrium carcinoma are considered as poor prognosis. Because of poor prognosis, palliative treatment of neck metastases can be performed first, followed by debulking surgery in appropriate patients, followed by low dose regional radiotherapy options. PET-CT should be taken when diagnosis is suspected. In this text; we reported management at metastasis of supraclavicular lymph node with two cases (endometrioid type endometrial adenocarcinoma and ovarian cancer). |
