Abstract

Prostate cancer is one of the common cancers in the world. It often metastasizes to the regional lymph nodes, bones, lungs, pleura, liver, and adrenal glands but metastasis to supraclavicular lymph nodes is very uncommon. Cervical lymph node metastasis as the first clinical manifestation of the prostate carcinoma has been reported only a few times till date. We present an unusual case of a 70- year old male who presented with enlarged swellings on the left side of his neck and was diagnosed with carcinoma prostate.
