   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lymph_node_metastasis

   Lymph node metastasis is the spread of cancer cells into a lymph node.. Lymph node metastasis is different from malignant lymphoma.Lymphoma is a cancer of lymph node, rather than cancer in the lymph node, because lymphoma originates from the lymph node itself, instead of originating elsewhere (e.g., the breast or colon) and spreading to the lymph nodes.

3. Cervical lymphadenopathy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cervical_lymphadenopathy

   Lymph nodes may become enlarged in malignant disease. This cervical lymphadenopathy may be reactive or metastatic. [1] Alternatively, enlarged lymph nodes may represent a primary malignancy of the lymphatic system itself, such as lymphoma (both Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's), [6] lymphocytic leukemia, [1] Lymphadenopathy that lasts less than two weeks or more than one year with no progressive ...

Common causes include infections (from minor causes such as the common cold and post-vaccination swelling to serious ones such as HIV/AIDS ), autoimmune diseases , and cancer .

   Involvement of the cervical lymph nodes with metastatic cancer is the single most important prognostic factor in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma and may be associated with a halving of survival. Where the cancer has penetrated the capsule of the lymph gland (extracapsular extension) survival may be decreased by a further 50%.

   Cut surface of a liver showing multiple paler metastatic nodules originating from pancreatic cancer. Initially, nearby lymph nodes are struck early. [10] The lungs, liver, brain, and bones are the most common metastasis locations from solid tumors. [10] In lymph node metastasis, a common symptom is lymphadenopathy

7. Tonsil carcinoma - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tonsil_carcinoma

   Metastasis to regional lymphnodes is common as the tonsil has a rich supply of lymphatics giving way to the tumor cells to metastasis to other lymph nodes (commonly the lymph nodes of neck) and cause lymphydenopathy. The cervical lyphydenopathy can be ipsilateral (70% or more patients) or bilateral (30% and fewer patients). [13]
