Supraclavicular Metastasis from Infraclavicular Organs: Retrospective Analysis of 18 Patients

摘要: Background: Supraclavicular fossa masses have usually been malignant lesions. When fine needle aspiration biopsy results not satisfactory excisional of supraclavicular lymphadenopathy would be mandatory. Methods: In this study we investigated 18 patients who had region metastasis from infraclavicular primary sites. Results: Distant metastatic sites were mostly lung in origin.
