Abstract
Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is prone to regional lymph node metastasis, which is more common in central lymph nodes and lateral cervical lymph nodes, and retropharyngeal lymph node metastasis (RLNM) is extremely rare. A male with PTC presented with extensive cervical lymph node metastasis and the initial RLNM. After full evaluation by preoperative imaging examination, the patient underwent total thyroidectomy + left central lymph node dissection + left neck lymph node dissection (II III IV V) + left retropharyngeal tumor resection, and the postoperative recovery was good without recurrence long-term complications, and no local recurrence and metastasis were found during one-year follow-up.

Different surgical approaches in retropharyngeal lymph nodes dissection in head and neck cancer: A systematic review. Auris Nasus Larynx 2022; 50:327-336. [PMID: 36184298 DOI: 10.1016/j.anl.2022.09.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2022] [Revised: 08/21/2022] [Accepted: 09/01/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To perform a systematic review of studies analyzing different surgical approaches in the treatment of retropharyngeal lymph node (RPLN) metastases. METHODS The study was performed according to the PRISMA guidelines. RESULTS Twenty-one studies were included in the review, for a total of 481 patients (median age: 55.8 years; male: n = 279/393, 70.1%). The success rate by type of approach was 100% (n = 233/233), 93.5% (n = 29/31), 95.7% (n = 67/70), 100% (n = 14/14), 100% (n = 82/82), and 100% (n = 51/51) in the transcervical, endoscopic-assisted transcervical, TORS, transoral, maxillary swing and transmandibular cohorts, respectively. The complication rate by type of approach was 11.2% (n = 26/233), 48.4% (n = 15/31), 48.6% (n = 34/70), 14.3% (n = 2/14), 6.1% (n = 5/82) in the transcervical, endoscopic-assisted transcervical, TORS, transoral and maxillary swing cohorts, respectively. Oncological outcomes were reported by 17 studies (n = 404/481; 84%). Overall, after a median follow-up of 28 months (n = 339/481; IQR 23-40.5), no evidence of disease (NED) was found in 238 patients (58.9%), recurrence at the RPLNs in 14 (3.5%), local recurrence in 22 (5.4%), regional recurrence in 23 (5.7%), locoregional recurrence in 16 (4%), distant metastases in 42 (10.4%), death from disease in 36 (8.9%), death from other cause in 23 (5.7%), and death from unspecified cause in 26 (6.4%). CONCLUSIONS Further prospective randomized controlled trials are needed to provide direct comparison between different approaches for RPLNs dissection.
