Abstract: | We report on a 68-year-old male with a multistation mediastinal lymph node adenocarcinoma, who had no primary lesions occurring within 48 months. After diagnosis by lymph node biopsy via right-sided thoracoscopy, the bilateral mediastinal lymphadenopathy responded to platinum-based chemotherapy. At 30 months after completion of chemotherapy, left mediastinal lymphadenopathy recurred. Left anterior mediastinal dissection via left-sided thoracoscopy was successful. After surgery, the patient did well with no primary lesions for more than a year. The etiology of mediastinal lymph node carcinoma of unknown origin is discussed. |
