“…When they do occur, they pose important diagnostic and therapeutic challenges for head and neck surgeons. 4 Tumors that arise in other parts of the body or from an unknown primary site can present with cervical lymphadenopathy. If metastasis is not considered, then the diagnosis may be delayed.…”

Testicular carcinoma metastatic to the neck is rare. Even more rare is a finding of choriocarcinoma as a neck mass without any sign of a primary testicular tumor, as only a few cases have been reported in the literature. We describe a new case that occurred in a 29-year-old man who presented with a neck mass. Fine-needle aspiration biopsy identified the tumor as a malignant epithelial neoplasm. Radiologic findings indicated the presence of a systemic metastasis of a tumor to the chest and abdomen, as well as the neck. Findings on an incisional biopsy of the neck mass were consistent with a choriocarcinoma. The testicles were normal on palpation and ultrasonography. The patient was diagnosed with metastatic choriocarcinoma with an unknown primary, and he was started on chemotherapy. On the second day of treatment, which was 25 days after his referral to our clinic, he died of respiratory insufficiency.

“…Ovarian carcinoma metastases usually involve the para‐aortic or pelvis group of lymph nodes and infrequently involve the supraclavicular lymph nodes 3 . Metastasis to cervical level II/III lymph nodes usually occurs from the head and neck region; an ovarian carcinoma metastasizing to these lymph nodes is rare.…”

“…Ten percent of patients will not show any pelvic masses. Metastases to the head and neck from distant primaries are uncommon, especially from an ovarian carcinoma 3 . We report a case of carcinoma of the ovary who initially presented with cervical lymph nodal mass and was later found to have a primary transitional cell carcinoma of the ovary.…”

“…The differential diagnoses were made as metastatic cervical lymphadenopathy from synchronous head and neck region tumor and infective lymphadenopathy. Laboratory tests showed low hemoglobin (8gm/dL), High Total leucocytes count (TLC) 16,000/mm [3] with normal urea, creatinine and electrolytes. Follow cystoscopy showed no residual or recurrent tumor in urinary bladder.…”

“…However, lymph node metastasis above the diaphragm especially in head and neck region is extremely rare. Only few reports have been published so far and with poor prognosis [3] . We report a case of patient with transitional cell carcinoma of bladder with solitary left supraclavicular lymph nodes metastasis without any bony or visceral metastasis.…”
