Abstract Background Metastatic involvement of non-regional supraclavicular or superior mediastinal lymph nodes in distal oesophageal cancer is rare, but has important implications for prognosis and management. The management which appear indeterminate on CT FDG PET-CT (subcentimetre those with preserved normal morphology, increased avidity) can present a diagnostic dilemma. This study investiga...

An asymptomatic 67-year-old man presented with a left supraclavicular lymph node that enlarged over a 2-month period which was biopsied. Pathologic features were consistent with involvement by metastatic seminoma and follicular lymphoma, follicular pattern, grade 1 (of 3). Staging Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography scans indicated several areas of enlarged lymph nodes. The patient...

PURPOSE To report the case of a patient with bilateral frosted branch angiitis and undiagnosed Hodgkin lymphoma. METHODS Review of clinical history, laboratory findings, histology of supraclavicular lymph node biopsy, and follow-up. RESULTS A 22-year-old man presented with a sudden, bilateral visual loss. Fundus examination and fluorescein angiography disclosed a bilateral frosted branch an...

In this study, we present the ultrasound imaging features of lymph nodes arising in regional node chain after first or second dose Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine. Ipsilateral lymphadenopathy adjacent to vaccine injection site is an extremely rare but expected adverse reaction following vaccination. Although axillary more common, cases supraclavicular have also been reported widespread vaccina...

Case 1. Anne is a 23-year-old nursing student who presents with bilateral cervical, left supraclavicular, and left axillary adenopathy. Computed tomography (CT) scan of the thorax reveals a 6-cm anterior mediastinal mass. Biopsy of the left supraclavicular lymph node reveals classical nodular sclerosis Hodgkin lymphoma. A complete blood count is normal and the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ES...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to investigate the patterns and influencing factors of local-regional recurrence of lower thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (TESCC) after curative resection and to delineate the clinical target volume (CTV) of postoperative radiotherapy (PORT). METHODS From January 2009 to December 2013, the clinical data of patients who experienced local-regiona...

A 13-year-old girl was admitted to our hospital with a one-month history of bullous skin lesions. Physical examination revealed ulcerated and nonulcerated cutaneous plaques, bullae, enlarged cervical and supraclavicular lymph nodes and hepatomegaly. In another hospital, histopathological diagnosis of a skin biopsy was reported to be consistent with tuberculosis and she was treated with antimyco...

Background: Lung cancer is the leading cause of death from cancer in the UK. Pathological diagnosis traditionally requires invasive procedures such as bronchoscopy, mediastinoscopy, or image guided biopsy. Ultrasound of the neck with fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) of enlarged but impalpable supraclavicular nodes has been used in patients with suspected lung cancer who have N2 or N3 dise...
