Cervical metastatic carcinoma from unknown primary lesion(CMCUP) usually refers to a malignant tumor confirmed by histological and pathological examination as cervical lymph node metastasis. However, after systematic medical history collection, physical examination, endoscopy, and imaging examinations, it is still unclear whether the primary lesion is cervical metastatic malignant tumor. Although with the development of examination techniques such as endoscopy and imaging, the detection of unknown primary lesions has been increasing year by year in recent years, there are still some cases where the primary lesion cannot be diagnosed through known examination methods. For the diagnosis and treatment of patients with unknown primary metastatic cancer in the neck, it is necessary to correctly identify clinical manifestations and use the least invasive approach to achieve diagnosis and treatment, avoiding inappropriate diagnostic methods. The current situation of standardized treatment is not optimistic, and there is an urgent need to pay attention to the standardized diagnosis and treatment of cervical metastatic cancer from unknown primary lesions. This article will focus on the key diagnostic and treatment issues and the latest progress of CMCUP clinical attention, providing reference for the standardized clinical diagnosis and treatment of cervical metastatic cancer from unknown primary lesions.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the application of carbon nanoparticle lymphatic tracer in total thyroidectomy and bilateral Central District's thyroidectomy for papillary thyroid carcinoma. Sixty-four patients with cN0 papillary thyroid carcinoma that primary treated were random divided into two groups: Trial group and control group. Carbon nanoparticles suspension was injected into the thyroid gland of trial group patients.After ten minutes, total thyroidectomy plus bilateral central neck dissection was performed in the all patients. The black stained tissue in the dissection specimen of trial group was separated. The control group underwent total thyroidectomy plus bilateral central neck dissection. Total lymph node and parathyroid gland in the black stained tissue，and non-black stained tissue in the central compartment dissection specimen of trial group and central compartment dissection specimen of control group were counted respectively.Total lymph node, the mis-cut parathyroid glands in the adipose tissue of central lymph node，post-operative blood calcium and parathyroid hormone（PTH）of two groups were contrasted and analyzed. There are 235 lymph nodes in the black-stained tissue of central compartment dissection specimen of trial group.No parathyroid gland was found in the black-stained tissue.Five lymph nodes and 2 parathyroid glands were found in the non-black stained tissue of central compartment dissection specimen of trial group. There were 164 lymph nodes and 9 parathyroid glands in central compartment dissection specimen of control group. There is statistic difference between the number of lymph nodes in black stain tissue and that of control group（=8.291, =0.000）.Rate of staining lymph node were 97.9 percent. No parathyroid glands were found in the black stained tissue. Nine mis-cut parathyroid glands（7.0%） were observed in the control group，while 2（1.6%） in the trial group（<0.05）.None permanent hypocalcemia and PTH decrease were observed in the two groups.There were 10 patients（31.3%） with temporary hypocalcemia and 9 patients（28.1%）with temporary PTH decrease respectively in the control group，and there was 1 patient（3.1%） and 1 patient（3.1%） respectively in the trial group（<0.05）. The effect of nano-carbon is ideal, and the parathyroid gland can not be stained black. It can distinguish the thyroid tissue from the surrounding lymphoid adipose tissue and clearly mark the Central District lymph nodes, reduce the risk of parathyroid gland injury during thyroid cancer. Neck dissection in the central region can improve the efficiency of lymph node dissection, protect the parathyroid gland and reduce the risk of postoperative complications.

Objective:To study the clinical features, diagnosis and treatment of vagal paraganglioma in parapharyngeal space.Methods:Nine cases with vagal paraganglioma in parapharyngeal space were retrospectively analyzed who were diagnosed and treated between January 2006 and December 2018 in Department of Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, Beijing Friendship Hospital and the First Medical Center, Chinese PLA General Hospital. There were 6 males and 3 females, aged from 24 to 50 years old. The main symptoms in the 9 patients were hoarseness and neck mass, and the secondary symptoms were irritating cough, cough on drinking and dysphagia. The main sign was a well-circumscribed round mass, tough in texture, with or without ipsilateral lateral oropharyngeal wall uplift and vocal cord paralysis. The tumors were located between the bifurcation of the carotid artery and the jugular foramen in 7 cases and intruded into jugular fossa in 2 cases. All the 9 patients underwent head and neck enhancement CT and MRI and 7 cases received digital subtraction angiography (DSA) examination and balloon occlusion test. The imaging features were tumors with rich blood supply in the parapharyngeal space of the upper neck, and the tumors were heterogeneous enhanced with contrast CT scan and enhanced MRI, which were closely related to the internal carotid artery, external carotid artery and jugular vein.Results:Among these 9 patients, 8 underwent surgical resection of tumors, including complete tumor resection in 7 cases and partial tumor resection in 2 case. One patient underwent partial tumor resection after being transferred to vascular surgery. There was no recurrence in 7 patients with complete tumor resection and slow growth was shown in 2 patients with partial tumor resection. Posterior cranial nerve injury occurred in 2 patients and stroke in 1 patient due to intraoperative ligation of internal carotid artery.Conclusions:Vagal paraganglioma in the parapharyngeal space is rich in blood supply and closely related to the internal and external carotid arteries, internal jugular vein and posterior cranial nerves. Surgical resection is the first choice for treatments. Choosing a reasonable operative approach for fully exposing the operative field and completely removing the tumor while protecting the internal carotid artery are the keys to successful surgery.

OBJECTIVE: To compare the postoperative survival rate of laryngeal carcinoma patient at stage III or IV whom accepted partial laryngectomy and total laryngectomy. METHOD: We performed a retrospective cohort follow-up study of 126 patients of stage III or IV who underwent operation for laryngeal carcinoma in Chinese PLA General Hospital between January, 2005 and December, 2009. Survival rates were calculated by product-limit method. RESULT: There were 80 patients at stage III and 46 patient at stage IV. Sixty five patients underwent partial laryngectomy and 61 patients underwent total laryngectomy. There were 24 patients in whole group died in the 5 years, 15 of them underwent partial and 9 accepted total laryngectomy. The 5-years survival rate of partial and total group were 62.58% and 68.74% respectively. The survival curve of both groups had no significant difference (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION For laryngeal carcinoma patients at later stage, with suitable operative indication, the partial laryngectomy could achieve an acceptable effect as well as total laryngectomy.
