Abstract:
A 60-year-old gentleman presented with a large swelling on the left side of his neck which was diagnosed as a metastatic cervical lymph node. It infiltrated the platysma muscle and caused partial contracture. This is known as Platysma sign. Presence of this sign indicates extracapsular spread and shows poor prognosis.
