Long survival after axillary metastasis from lung cancer.
Right axillary lymph node metastases was observed 4 months after a right lower lobectomy performed for a T2 NO lung adenocarcinoma. After surgical excision and subsequent radiotherapy follow-up was uneventful and the patient is still alive after a 6-year interval. Such isolated metastases are probably of systemic origin.
