Virchow's node

This has become known as Virchow's node and simultaneously Troisier's sign.

Virchow's node is also sometimes coined "the seat of the devil" given its ominous association with malignant disease.

The most notable supraclavicular lymph node is Virchow's node.

The metastasis blocks the thoracic duct leading to regurgitation into the surrounding nodes i.e. virchow's node.

Differential diagnosis of an enlarged Virchow's node includes lymphoma, various intra-abdominal malignancies, breast cancer, and infection (e.g. of the arm).

Secondary: metastasis, Virchow's Node, Neuroblastoma, and Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia.

The presence of an enlarged Virchow's node is also referred to as 'Troisier's sign', named after Charles Emile Troisier, who also described this.

Virchow's node (or signal node) is a lymph node in the left supraclavicular fossa (the area above the left clavicle).

The left supraclavicular node is the classical Virchow's node because it is on the left side of the neck where the lymphatic system drainage of most of the body (from the thoracic duct) enters the venous circulation via the left subclavian vein.

The first sign of a malignancy, especially an intraabdominal one, may be an enlarged Virchow's node, a lymph node in the left supraclavicular area, in the vicinity where the thoracic duct empties into the left brachiocephalic vein, right between where the left subclavian vein and left internal jugular connect.
