Summary: Abstract: Unclassified germ cell sex cord tumors are rare tumors. These are rare tumors in the intermediate zone between fibromas and the comas and are difficult to classify. These is a case of an unclassified germ cell-sex cord tumor metastatic to the supraclavicular nodes. Metastases to the supraclavicular fossa can originate from head and infraclavicular tumors. The principal metastatic sites from the head and neck region are the hypopharynx, tonsil and nasopharynx (2) infraclavicular primary sites ar emostly lung, breast and cervix (3). Left supraclavicular lymph node enlargement can also occur as a gastric carcinoma metastasis. Gonodal malignancies are rare primary sites for supraclavicular lymphadenopathy. To present a rare caseof unclassified germ cell-sex cord tumor metastatic to the supraclavicular lymph node. To discuss its diagnosis and defferential diagnoses. A 63-year old male who presented with a supraclavicular mass left lateral neck. Plain and Contrast neck CT scan revealed lymph nodes in the submental, sunmandibular. Size ranges from a few mm to little over one centimeter and nodular densities in the left supraclavicular region, the largest of which measures about 2.7 x 2.8 x 3.0 cm. The impression than was "Neck lymphadenopathies and left supraclavicular lymph nodes consider Infectious/inflammatory versus Neoplastic in origin". Fine needle aspiration biopsy done which was signed out as "Atypical Lymphoproliferative process, supraclavicular mass left". was signed out as "Poorly Differentiated Malignant Tumor to consider the following: 1. Carcinoma, 2. Malignant Germ Cell Tumor" suggest the following immunohistochemical staining such AFP, Vimentin and Cytokeratin for more definitive diagnosis". Metastatic unclassified germ cell-sex cord tumors are rare and poses a diagnostic dilemma but Immunohistochemical stains has proven to be helpful in its diagnosis.
