The disturbance of the lymphatic system in the cervical region resulting from neck dissection or radiotherapy may result in unusual patterns of metastasis in patients with recurrent tumors. This is more frequent when the recurrent tumor invades the myocutaneous flap used for the primary reconstruction. We encoun- tered three patients 2 men, 1women with infraclav­ icular lymph node metastasis. AH were previously treated by surgery, postoperative radiation therapy, and reconstruction with the use of the pectoralis majör myocutaneous flap.}, number={5}, publisher={Istanbul University}
