A RARE CASE REPORT OF METASTATIC PROSTATE ADENOCARCINOMA IN A YOUNG 54 YEARS OLD MALE PRESENTING AS A LEFT SUPRACLAVICULAR LYMPHADENOPATHY

ABSTRACT

Prostate adenocarcinoma (PA) is one of the most frequent cancers in males around the age of 50. The metastasis of PA occurs in advanced stages and most commonly to regional lymph nodes, pelvic and abdominal organs. But the distant spread of PA to cervical lymph nodes is sporadic, and only a few cases have been reported in the literature so far. Here, we present a case of swelling on the left side of the neck. The biopsy of the left supraclavicular lymph node revealed metastatic prostate adenocarcinoma (MPA). This presentation of MPA is infrequent because lymphadenopathy was the presenting symptom. The patient had no history or symptoms suggestive of primary prostate adenocarcinoma, and no prostate cancer workup before the biopsy. This presentation is quite unusual and an eye-opener in the differential diagnosis of lymphoma and metastatic lesion involving the lymph node.
