 We retrospectively analyzed 16 cases of metastatic carcinomas of the neck of unknown primary. The patients were 14 men and 2 women aged 51-75 years. The histopathological type was squamous cell carcinoma in 15 cases. Two and 14 patients were in stages Ⅲ and Ⅳ, respectively. Ten patients underwent neck dissection followed by chemoradiotherapy, and the remaining 6 patients received radical or palliative(chemo)radiotherapy. The overall 5-year crude/disease-specific survival rates were 48.1/57.9%. N3 lymph nodes, stages IVB/C and absence of neck dissection were negative prognostic factors. Early detection and effective treatment for advanced-stage patients are necessary to improve the prognosis of this disease.
