초록

방광암의 림프절 전이는 방광의 림프순환에서 처음과 두 번째로 거쳐 가는 외/내 장골, 폐쇄림프절과 총장골림프절에서 주로 일어난다. 방광암에서 횡격막을 넘어서 일어나는 전이는 드물고, 두경부로의 전이는 예후가 좋지 않으며 생존율도 낮다. 방광요로상피암 환자에서 뼈나 그 외에 고형장기로의 전이 없이 목 피부의 염증성 변화와 함께 림프절전이를 동반하는 것은 드문 증례이므로 이에 보고하고자 한다.

Lymph node metastasis from bladder cancer mainly involves the external/internal iliac and obturator nodes as the primary lymphatic drainage sites of the bladder, and common iliac sites as the secondary drainage. Lymph node involvement above the diaphragm is rare. Metastasis to the head and neck region is associated with poor prognosis and low survival rate. Herein, we report a case of cervical cutaneous and lymph node metastases in a patient with bladder cancer. This is a rare case of advanced urothelial carcinoma presenting as an aggressive inflammatory process with extensive lymph node involvement, without bony or visceral metastasis.
