I once treated a young patient who frequently had colds and fevers since childhood. He also had such a lymph node in his neck, about 3 cm in size.When he came to see me, I initially thought it might be a problematic lymph node because it was 3 cm by 2 cm, slightly round. However...
Preoperative identification of lymph node metastases is essential to allow for adequate surgical planning by determining extent of initial surgery, thereby optimizing recurrence-free survival outcomes. Postoperatively, surveillance of neck nodes allows for early detection of disease recurrence. Neck sonography...

Lymph nodes.An enlarged cervical lymph node is the most commonly encountered neck lump. The role of ultrasound is to differentiate pathological nodes (e.g., metastases, lymphoma, tuberculous lymphadenitis) from normal/reactive nodes (Figure 1). Different ultrasound criteria have been established to ...
Background and objectives:Currently there are no recommendations for obtaining a preoperative neck ultrasound for patients with suspicious or indeterminate thyroid nodules. Because a preoperative surgical ultrasound can detect suspicious lymph nodes that could result in ultimately altering surgical management, ...

Imaging of lymph node metastases in the neck can have two major indications: (1) prognosis and assisting with choice of treatment; (2) staging and detection of clinically occult metastases in different levels of the neck. Both indications are discussed. The role and limitations of US and US-...

One lymph node was dissected on the right side of the neck in each rabbit in both groups. Pathological examination showed all 12 lymph nodes in the metastatic group were metastatic lymph nodes, and all 8 lymph nodes in the hyperplasia group were hyperplastic lymph nodes. After intravenous CEUS...
