Metastatic Squamous Neck Cancer with Occult Primary

@theaceman, welcome. Can you tell me a bit more about your diagnosis? Do you have head and neck cancer that has metastasized to a lymph node? Or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin that has spread to a lymph node?
Where was the original cancer located?

This is what they called the swollen lymph node
metastatic keratinizing squamous cell carcinoma
It was 2.5 cm
We don’t know the origin yet from what I’m aware

For a few years, I’ve always noticed a small lump in my side of my neck so after few years, we decided maybe just to take it out to have a biopsy. The biopsy came back showing metastasis squamous cell sarcoma inside of it. Right now we don’t know the origin, but we just know that inside that lymph node was that type.
