Metastasis: Local Lymph Nodes Lesion

Cancers are sorted by a combination of rarity, overall frequency of metastases, and predilection for this site. Group metastases by characteristic.

 

CancerFrequencyComments
Colorectal Adenocarcinoma Common adult colon: typically along the inferior mesenteric artery

rectal: typically retroperitoneal (esp internal iliac)

Prostate Adenocarcinoma Common adult typically obturator, internal iliac, common iliac, and presacral chains
Breast Adenocarcinoma Common adult axillary, subpectoral, supraclavicular, internal mammary
Wilms Tumor Common child
Small Cell Lung Cancer Common adult hilar and mediastinal
Renal Cell Carcinoma Common adult
Gastric Adenocarcinoma Common adult
Cervical Cancer Common adult retroperitoneal and para-aortic
Endometrial Cancer Common adult iliac / para-aortic
Testicular Cancer Common adultchild para-aortic chains
Epithelial Ovarian Cancer Common adult para-aortic
Hepatocellular Carcinoma Common adult regional lymph nodes - perihepatic, peripancreatic, and retroperitoneal - found in 30-40% of cases
Esophageal Cancer Common adult mediastinal nodes, gastrohepatic nodes
Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma Common adult retroperitoneal nodes
Merkel Cell Carcinoma Common adult CT sensitivity for local lymph node involvement is only 20%.
Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Common adult
Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma Common adult much more common than distant metastases
Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma Common adult
Cholangiocarcinoma Common adult
Gallbladder Cancer Common adult
Neuroblastoma Common child
Basal Cell Carcinoma Common adult
Mixed Mullerian Tumor of the Uterus Common adult
Olfactory Neuroblastoma Common adult Most common site of metastasis is the cervical lymph node chain.
Gastrointestinal Carcinoid Common adult Fibrosis (desmoplastic reaction) can cause kinking of bowel and obstruction. Often the mesenteric lymphadenopathy may be larger than the primary tumor, in the case of small intestine primaries. Around 70% of mesenteric lymph node metastases contain calcification.
Transitional Cell Carcinoma of the Bladder Common adult
Hodgkin's Lymphoma Common adultchild Spreads contiguously. Most commonly to hilar or cervical chain.
Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor Rare adult
Pheochromocytoma Common adult
Dermatofibrosarcoma Protuberans Rare adult
