  metastasis of cystic squamous cell carcinoma
  Definition : The majority of metastatic cervical lymph nodes in head-and-neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCCs) are solid masses. However, between 33% and 62% of cases are cystic metastatic squamous cell carcinomas (SCC).
  Examples
  branchial cleft cyst ?

  metastatic HNSCC; metastatic HPV-associated HNSCC
  Prognosis
  In stage IV HNSCC, long-term survival is rare and DM is a significant predictor for mortality.
  If patients developed DM, lung metastases had the most favourable prognosis, so intensified palliative treatment might be justified in DM limited to the lungs.
  Treatment
  surgery
  radiotherapy
  chemotherapy
  targeted therapy mTOR inhibition (rapamycin) (#27015118#) cetuximab for HER2-expressing tumors

  EBV-related disorders of the head and neck
  EBV-related disorders of the head and neck are fairly common and can be either benign or malignant. Infectious mononucleosis is the classic EBV infected disorder involving lymph nodes and extranodal lymphoid tissues (i.e., Waldeyer ring including palatine tonsil, lingual tonsil and nasopharyngeal adenoids) of the head and neck.

• head and neck squamous cell carcinoma of unknown primary
  22 September 2014

  Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma of unknown primary is defined as the presence of squamous cell carcinoma in one or more lymph nodes within the head and neck region that are not solely in the supraclavicular region, without an identifiable primary tumor.
  While many head and neck cancer patients initially present with a neck mass, the mucosally-based primary site of origin is typically identified via subsequent workup.
  Squamous cell carcinoma of unknown primary is a relatively rare (...)
