β¦ Synopsis
Malignancies from many primary sites may metastasize to supraclavicular lymph nodes (SCLN). We reviewed 100 fine-needle aspirations (FNAs) of SCLNs. There were three major types of malignancy detected by this method: adenocarcinoma (n = 40), squamous cell carcinoma (n = 14). and other malignancies (n =29). Adenocarcinomas and other malignancies from all sites tended to metastasize to the left SCLN. S p u m o u s cell carcinomas from all sites, however, tended to appear on the right side. For 61 patients, a previous diagnosis of malignancy had been made within I yr of the clinical appearance of the abnormal SCLN For 20patients, the primary diagnosis antedated SCLN metastasis by more than I yr, particularly patients with adenocarcinoma of the breast, prostate, or thyroid papillary carcinoma.

## Abstract The aim of this study was to analyze the role of immunocytochemistry as an ancillary method on routine FNACs of enlarged lymph nodes, using different markers. In a validating cohort study all patients had confirmatory histological and/or clinical followβup. 10 FNACs were analyzed for th
