“…In total, 11 patients have been reported in 10 case reports. Ten of the 11 patients had cervical lymph node metastasis confirmed at the time of initial diagnosis [7,8,[12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19]. Because of the rapid disease progression in these patients, there are no reports of patients with resectable disease or metastatic cervical lymph node recurrence after resection.…”

Postoperative recurrence with right cervical lymph node metastasis in hepatocellular carcinoma: a case report

Background Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients with metastases to the cervical lymph nodes are extremely rare, and its clinical course is characterized by rapidly progressive disease. Hence, there have been no reports of metastatic cervical lymph node recurrence indicated after a long postoperative surveillance period. Case presentation The patient was a 63-year-old male who underwent right hepatectomy for HCC of the right upper lobe. Three years after resection, metastatic lymph node recurrence was detected in the subdiaphragm, superior mediastinum, and right cervical lymph nodes. The patient underwent excisional biopsy of the cervical lymph node, followed by molecular-targeted therapy and radiation therapy. Lenvatinib reduced the size of all metastatic lymph nodes and the patient survived for a relatively long period of 43 months after the recurrence was detected. Conclusions After resection of HCC in the right upper lobe, there is the possibility of metastatic lymph node recurrence in unusual sites, including the cervical region, and lenvatinib may be effective in those recurrences.

“…The lymph nodes tend to be mobile, hard in consistency, non-tender, and without any adherence to the skin. These nodes may be the presenting feature of otherwise asymptomatic cancer [19][20][21][22] or else be a finding signaling the advanced stage of an already known or otherwise symptomatic cancer.…”

Virchow-Troisier's node is an eponymous term referring to the enlargement of the left supraclavicular lymph node. It is a significant physical finding that generally indicates the late manifestation of a variety of malignancies. This review article briefly revisits the historical background, epidemiology, anatomical routes of metastasis, clinical presentation, differential diagnosis, and clinical significance of Virchow-Troisier's node.

“…The VN has been well-established as a signal node for the spread of gastric cancer 4 - 9. In addition, the VN has been identified as a seeding location for cancers arising from myriad locations apart from the stomach, including the intestines,7 urogenital system,10 - 18 esophagus,19 common bile duct,20 liver,21 - 23 as well as the pancreas,24 , 25 and lungs 26. The VN has also been reported with squamous cell carcinoma and lymphoma 16 , 27 , 28.…”

Metastatic spread of cancer via the thoracic duct may lead to an enlargement of the left supraclavicular node, known as the Virchow node (VN), leading to an appreciable mass that can be recognized clinically — a Troisier sign. The VN is of profound clinical importance; however, there have been few studies of its regional anatomical relationships. Our report presents a case of a Troisier sign/VN discovered during cadaveric dissection in an individual whose cause of death was, reportedly, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The VN was found to arise from an antecedent pulmonary adenocarcinoma. Our report includes a regional study of the anatomy as well as relevant gross pathology and histopathology. Our anatomical findings suggest that the VN may contribute to vascular thoracic outlet syndrome as well as the brachial plexopathy of neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome. Further, the VN has the potential to cause compression of the phrenic nerve, contributing to unilateral phrenic neuropathy and subsequent dyspnea. Recognition of the Troisier sign/VN is of great clinical importance. Similarly, an appreciation of the anatomy surrounding the VN, and the potential for the enlarged node to encroach on neurovascular structures, is also important in the study of a patient. The presence of a Troisier sign/VN should be assessed when thoracic outlet syndrome and phrenic neuropathy are suspected. Conversely, when a VN is identified, the possibility of concomitant or subsequent thoracic outlet syndrome and phrenic neuropathy should be considered.

Virchow’s node: Rare presentation of childhood hepatocellular carcinoma

Abstract: Cervical (supra-clavicular) lymphadenopathy may not always be due to tuberculosis in children. Hepatocellular carcinoma in children even may present as supra clavicular lymphadenopathy (Virchow's node).
