A 3 X 2 cm single lymph node was found in the right posterior cervical chain.
Fluid in the upper and outer lymphotome drains outward and downward into the parotid nodes, then down the cervical chain to the venous angle or terminus that is accessed at the supraclavicular fossae, and finally into the bloodstream.
The patient recovered without complications and was symptom-free for 6 years, until she presented again with a solitary lymph node in the anterior cervical chain that, on biopsy, was again consistent with KFD.
