Virchow's node metastasis from small intestinal neuroendocrine neoplasms: A bi-center cohort study

#3545

Introduction: Small Intestinal Neuroendocrine Neoplasms (SI-NENs) may rarely metastasize to the left supraclavicular lymph nodes, also known as Virchow’s node metastasis (VM).

Aim(s): Data on prevalence, prognostic significance and clinical course of disease for SI-NEN patients with VM is limited.

Materials and methods: In this retrospective analysis of 231 SI-NEN patients treated at two tertiary referal centers we found nine patients with VM. We used a control group of 18 age- and sex-matched SI-NEN patients from the same cohort with stage IV disease, but no extrahepatic metastases.
