Abstract:
From 1991 to 2001 year, 295 anapathological records of patient who had cancer metastasis into supra clavicle gland were studied. Results showed that the incidence is higher in male than in female patients (53.9% vs 46.1%), metastasis incidence is higher in the left than in the right (27.8% vs 21.36%), supraclavicle epithelial adenoma incidence is higher in the left than in the right (58.52% vs 54.54%), the incidence of metastasis of supraclavicle from lung cancer is higher in the right than in the left (57.89% vs 36.11%), the incidence of metastasis of supraclavicle from breast higher in the left than in the right (44.44% vs 28.95%). Histopathology permits to orient the primary cancer in 29.49%, and once histology associates with clinical diagnosis, this possibility can reach to 44.41%
