A Case of Surgical Resection for Superficial Esophageal Cancer With a Single Giant N4 Cervical Lymph Node Metastasis

Superficial thoracic esophageal cancer with a solitary metastasis to a lymph node outside the usual target area of lymphadenectomy is extremely rare. We report a case of superficial esophageal cancer with a solitary, giant metastasis to the right upper deep cervical lymph node that was treated with surgery. A 57-year-old man presented to our institution with a chief complaint of a mass in the right neck. Fine needle cytology showed squamous cell carcinoma. No lesion was found in the pharyngolaryngeal area or the lungs. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed superficial squamous cell carcinoma of the thoracic esophagus. Detailed examinations showed no other lymph node enlargement or metastasis to distant organs. The patient was diagnosed with esophageal cancer with a solitary lymph node metastasis (N4; No.102upR). Subtotal esophagectomy and 3-field lymphadenectomy were performed. The patient received adjuvant chemotherapy. At 3 years postsurgery, no recurrence has been found. We think this case is extremely rare.

Node Metastasis

Background: Primary Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma can metastasize in the cervical lymph nodes. Objective: The purpose of the present study was to see the association of Anneroth’s scoring and frequency of cervical lymph node metastasis among primary oral squamous cell carcinoma patients. Methodology: This cross sectional study was conducted in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Dhaka Dental College and Hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh from November 2009 to December 2010 for a period of one year. Patients attending in the place of study with diagnosed case of oral squamous cell carcinoma were selected for the study after fulfilling the inclusion criteria. The resected primary lesion and neck lymph nodes were sent for histopathological examination. Histopathological grading of the primary lesion was done and neck lymphodes were graded as metastatic and non-metastatic. Results: This prospective study with 50 cases of oral squamous cell carcinoma was taken of which 28 cases were non-metastasis tumor. Each case was graded according to TNM classification, Broder’s grading and Anneroth’s classification. Both Anneroth’s classification (p=0.002) and Broder’s grading (p=0.017) were significant but Anneroth’s one was more significant than Broder’s. Conclusions: There is an association between Anneroth’s grading system with lymph node metastasis. Journal of Current and Advance Medical Research 2019;6(2): 69-72
