Hi. The report shows cancer which has come from other organs. If your pan endoscopy is normal, then it’s called Cancer of unknown primary(CUP) or metastasis of unknown origin (MUO) neck. You need PETCT SCAN for further evaluation. And based on that surgery is required.

As per FNAC report , cancer confirmed. But as per endoscopy we couldn't find out primary. Then we should go WHOLE BODY PET CT SCAN to find out primary. Depending upon primary site, further treatment will be decided.
