Introducción y objetivo: El hallazgo de una masa dura supraclavicular conlleva siempre preocupación, porque habitualmente implica un diagnóstico malignidad. objetivo este trabajo ha consistido en examinar las características diferenciales la presencia costilla cervical que, aun siendo entidad muy poco frecuente, si se sospecha clínicamente, hace posible inmediato, evitando exploraciones inneces...

PURPOSE To investigate the use of asymmetric collimators and a single isocenter for delivering a uniform, accurate dose of radiation to the head, neck, and supraclavicular lymph nodes. METHODS AND MATERIALS A linear accelerator with a pair of asymmetric collimators is required for this technique. An isocenter was placed at the junction of the lateral head and neck fields and the anterior supr...

Physiologic surgical options, including vascularized lymph node transplant and lymphovenous bypass are becoming increasingly popular interventions for the treatment of lymphedema both upper lower extremities. Many different donor sites have been described, submental, lateral thoracic, superficial groin, supraclavicular, various intraabdominal sites. This paper describes a step-by-step approach ...

Objectives Cervical nerves block cannot be performed on some patients because of the risk of phrenic nerve paralysis. To overcome this limitation, we discovered the site of selective only supraclavicular nerve block at the subclavian site. Case report We present the case of a 62-year-old woman with clavicular fracture. We performed a selective block of the supraclavicular nerve and the fifth ...

INTRODUCTION The majority of ovarian cancer recurrences are in the abdomen. However, some cases relapse as isolated lymph node metastases, mostly in pelvic or para-aortic nodes. Peripheral isolated lymph node metastasis is rare. CASE PRESENTATION A 69-year-old Japanese woman had recurrent ovarian cancer presenting with isolated right supraclavicular lymph node metastasis. After surgical resec...

BACKGROUND Irradiation of the supraclavicular fossa is commonly used as part of adjuvant breast radiotherapy. Intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) may be used to target this region accurately, and there are subgroups of patients that may benefit more from IMRT than others. We identify the benefit of IMRT over fixed-depth dose prescription to the supraclavicular fossa in patients of different...

This study is to evaluate the prognostic significance of supraclavicular and/or celiac lymph node (LN) metastases in locally advanced thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) patients treated with neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (NACRT) and surgery. Among the total 199 patients, 75 (37.7%) had supraclavicular and/or celiac LN metastasis. Surgery was performed following NACRT in 168 pati...

Ultrasound guided regional anaesthesia is becoming increasingly popular. The supraclavicular block has been transformed by ultrasound guidance into a potentially safe superficial block. We reviewed the techniques of performing supraclavicular block with special focus on ultrasound guidance.
