Metastasis: Distant Lymph Nodes Lesion
Cancers are sorted by a combination of rarity, overall frequency of metastases, and predilection for this site. Group metastases by characteristic.
| Cancer | Frequency | Comments |
| Breast Adenocarcinoma | Uncommon |  more common in triple-negative cancers |
| Small Cell Lung Cancer | Common | retroperitoneal nodes |
| Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma | (Primary Tumor) |  rare to calcify or be necrotic without treatment |
| Colorectal Adenocarcinoma | Rare | i.e. not intra-abdominal |
| Non-Small Cell Lung Carcinoma | Rare | abdominal or axillary lymph nodes are rare sites for metastasis in general. However, axillary nodes are more common with SCC. |
| Renal Cell Carcinoma | Uncommon | |
| Endometrial Cancer | Common | |
| Testicular Cancer | Common | mediastinum, supraclavicular regions |
| Merkel Cell Carcinoma | Common | |
| Adrenal Cortical Carcinoma | Common | |
| Cervical Cancer | Uncommon | para-tracheal |
| Epithelial Ovarian Cancer | Uncommon | will calcify if serous primary |
| Cholangiocarcinoma | Common | intra-abdominal but beyond the local nodes |
| Gallbladder Cancer | Common | regional nodes |
| Gastric Adenocarcinoma | Rare | |
| Rhabdomyosarcoma | Common | |
| Osteosarcoma | Uncommon | |
