✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Carcinoma of the lung should be considered in the search for an unknown primary lesion when there is evidence of cervical lymph node involvement. Of 1,686 patients with a final diagnosis of bronchogenic carcinoma seen during a 10‐year period at the University of Louisville Hospitals, 26 presented with one or more clinically positive cervical nodes. The frequency of lung cancer in such instances varies from 1.5% (in the present report) to 32%, possibly because the term β€œcervical node” is used without clarification. More precise description of such metastases is urged.
