| Core Tip |
The first site of recurrence of colon cancer is rarely the mediastinal lymph nodes, and solitary recurrence at this site without another site of recurrence is extremely rare. The operative indication and prognostic significance of the resection of mediastinal lymph node metastasis has not been determined because such recurrence is very rare. Patients should be followed up after colon cancer surgery considering the possibility of solitary mediastinal lymph node recurrence if they had para-aortic node metastasis at the time of initial surgery. |
