Virchow’s node as the first manifestation of disseminated prostatic cancer

Abstract

Prostate cancer is the second most common malignant tumour in men. It usually presents with lower urinary tract symptoms and spreads to the regional lymph nodes. Metastasis to Virchow’s node (left supraclavicular lymphadenopathy) is rare and often associated with other types of cancer, such as gastric, lung and breast cancer. We present the case of a patient with enlarged left supraclavicular nodes as the first manifestation of disseminated adenocarcinoma of the prostate.
