The cervical lymph nodes are a common site of metastasis for cancers origin ating in the upper aerodigestive tract. Rarely, cancers originating from si tes other than the head and neck can metastasize to the cervical lymph node chain. We report on 2 recent patients with metastatic prostate cancer to t he cervical lymph nodes. Copyright (C) 2001 by W.B. Saunders Company.
