Summary
This case study highlights a rare instance of transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) metastasis to supraclavicular lymph nodes. The diagnosis was confirmed via histological analysis, despite initial diagnostic challenges.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Urology
- Pathology
Background:
- Supraclavicular lymph node metastasis typically arises from head and neck, breast, or abdominal cancers.
- Metastasis from infradiaphragmatic tumors to these nodes is exceptionally rare.
- Transitional cell carcinomas (TCCs), or urothelial carcinomas, are the predominant type of ureteral cancer, but rarely spread to the supraclavicular fossae.
