ABSTRACT

A 67-year-old male presented to his primary care physician with a complaint of weight loss. A percutaneous needle biopsy of the right supraclavicular lymph node revealed a poorly differentiated carcinoma with clear cell features. The lesion was localized to the right supraclavicular area and the right hilar and mediastinal lymph nodes. He was referred to our hospital for further evaluation and treatment. The tumor was considered to be a T0 lung cancer showing rare cellular morphology. Concurrent chemoradiotherapy with carboplatin and paclitaxel was administered, followed by consolidation therapy with durvalumab. The tumor achieved complete remission.
