Abstract
Supraclavicular nodal metastases of breast cancer are rare and occur in about 8% of newly diagnosed cases. It is rarely discussed in the literature that breast cancer was metastasizing to higher levels of the cervical nodes. We report a case of metastatic breast cancer to the deep cervical lymph nodes that caused stridor due to compression of the recurrent laryngeal nerve which was diagnosed by indirect laryngoscopy. After full investigations, urgent chemotherapy was started and it showed a dramatic response with disappearance of the lymph node after two cycles with resolution of the stridor. This report also highlights the association of other metastatic sites with this higher level of neck nodal metastases of breast cancer.
