The prerequisites for the diagnosis of a CUP syndrome were defined as follows: biopsy and consecutive histological examination of a lymph node confirms malignant cell growth and makes a primary tumor at the location of the biopsy unlikely, while physical examinations and those carried out with technical equipment do not detect any primary tumor. There is an emergence of an occult primary in about 40% of CUP cases and about 70% of such lesions are detected in the head and neck region. in addition to thorough clinical examination of the head and neck mucosa (under general anesthesia), Positron emission tomography with fluoro-2-deoxy D- glucose is essential to identify or rule out the primary tumor, along with other modalities like CT/MRI, endoscopy and biopsy from all suspicious sites. Therapeutic approaches include neck dissection with or withou...
