Abstract

Primary unknown neck metastases, are histologically diagnosed lymph node metastases without primary tumor diagnose. Determining the primary lesion during diagnosis is possible only for some patients. To determine the primary lesion; tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, positron emission tomography, transcervical ultrasound, narrow band imaging, immunohistochemical methods, panendoscopic examination under general anesthesia, bronchoscopy and esophagoscopy are performed. Lingual tonsillectomy performed with robotic surgery has begun to play an important role in detecting primary lesions. In addition to the controversial issues, there are improvements on the primary unknown neck metastases. With this article, we aimed to point out these controversial issues and reviewed the current knowledge with literature

Özet

Primeri bilinmeyen boyun metastazı, primer tümör tanısı olmaksızın histolojik olarak lenf nodunda metastaz saptanmasıdır. Primer lezyonu saptamak tanı aşamasında olguların az bir kısmında mümkün olabilmektedir. Primer lezyonu saptamak için tomografi, manyetik rezonans görüntüleme, pozitron emisyon tomografi, transservikal ultrasonografi, dar bant görüntüleme, immünohistokimyasal yöntemler, genel anestezi altında panendoskopik muayene, bronkoskopi ve özefagoskopi yapılmaktadır. Robotik cerrahi ile yapılan lingual tonsillektomiler primer lezyonu saptamada önemli rol oynamaya başlamıştır. Primeri bilinmeyen boyun metastazlarına yaklaşımda yenilikler yanında tartışmalı konular da mevcuttur. Bu derleme ile tanı ve tedavideki tartışmalı konulara dikkat çekilmiş ve güncel literatür eşliğinde mevcut bilgiler gözden geçirilmiştir
