BACKGROUND: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common malignant tumors of the digestive tract. Lymphatic metastases of this tumor are mostly confined to the regional lymph nodes, and distant supraclavicular lymph node metastases are very rare.
CASE SUMMARY: In this report, we describe a patient with sigmoid carcinoma and isolated synchronous supraclavicular lymph node metastases. A 56-year-old male presented with a left cervical mass that was confirmed as a lymph node metastasis from sigmoid cancer by several auxiliary examinations. After 6 cycles of chemotherapy with the 5-fluorouracil, leucovorin and oxaliplatin + cetuximab regimen, the sigmoid colon tumor and Virchow's lymph node metastasis were significantly smaller than before treatment, and no new metastatic sites were observed. Considering the effects of chemotherapy on quality of life, resection of the primary tumor was performed followed by 4 cycles of chemotherapy with the original chemotherapy regimen. Virchow's lymph node dissection was selected by mutual consultation between the patient and us. After the second surgery, the patient received capecitabine and cetuximab chemotherapy and did not experience recurrence or metastasis during follow-up.
CONCLUSION: In conclusion, supraclavicular lymph node metastasis without any other solid organ metastasis is a potential metastatic pathway for CRC. In addition, after resection of the primary lesion, postoperative chemotherapy combined with supraclavicular lymph node dissection is feasible for the treatment of patients with CRC and isolated synchronous Virchow's lymph node metastases.
