| Article Title: | The Delphian node revisited: An uncommon site of recurrence |
| Abstract: | The Delphian nodes (DNs) are frequently involved in cancers of the head and neck, including laryngeal and thyroid malignancies. Positivity in the DN has been considered a predictor of recurrence as well as an overall aggressive tumor biology. However, little has been written regarding the consequences of recurrence at the site of the DN. We present two case reports regarding recurrence in the DN and the unique challenges associated with DN metastases. In addition, we discuss our surgical approach to disease at the prelaryngeal space, including workup, imaging, and resection. Copyright (c) 2017 Endocrine Society. |
