Ultrasound (US) elastography has been introduced as a noninvasive imaging technique for evaluating cervical lymph nodes. US elastography techniques include strain elastography and shear wave-based elastography. The application of this technique is based on the fact that stiff tissues tend to deform less and show less strain than compliant tissues when the same force is applied. In general, meta...

We investigated the characteristic features of cervical lymph node B cells to determine whether their behavior differs from that of B cells located elsewhere, because cervical lymph nodes may be exposed to continual antigenic stimulation from the naso- and/or oropharynx. B cells were isolated from cervical lymph nodes, spleen and peritoneal fluid of mice, cultured in medium, and exposed to vari...

Objective: Angiomyomatous hamartomas are extremely rare, tumor-like lesions of the lymph nodes. They usually seen in inguinal region rarely nodes cervical region. Histopathologically, fibrous tissues, smooth muscle cells, and vascular structures node structure. It is important to distinguish it from benign malignant node.
 Case: A 1 cm diameter excision material removed a 26-year-old male ...

The goal of this study was to prospectively evaluate the diagnostic performance of Virtual Touch tissue imaging quantification (VTIQ) shear wave elastography in the discrimination of benign and malignant cervical lymph nodes in routine clinical practice. Shear wave velocity was analyzed using VTIQ in 100 patients with 100 histologically proven cervical lymph nodes. Diagnostic performance was ev...

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men, often presenting with regional lymph node or bone metastasis and rarely with supradiaphragmatic lymph node involvement. Most metastatic cancers involving the cervical lymph nodes are from cancers of the upper aerodigestive tract. In this report, we describe two cases with cervical lymph node enlargement due to metastatic prostate cancer as the i...

Germ cell tumours (GCTs) are the most common malignant tumours of the testes. Metastasis to cervical lymph nodes as the initial manifestation is rare. Mixed GCTs are a diagnostic challenge to the pathologist, particularly in cytology because of their histologic diversity; more so when they occur at unexpected sites, with unknown primary. Two young adult males presented with enlarged cervical ly...

OBJECTIVE To assess the feasibility of optical imaging using activatable near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) agents to detect oral cancer and cervical lymph node metastasis in vivo. DESIGN In vivo study. SETTING University medical center. SUBJECTS Female nude mice aged 4 to 6 weeks. INTERVENTION Luciferase-expressing OSC-19-luc cells were injected into the tongues of nude mice. A control ...

Background: Lymphadenopathy is an enlargement of a lymph node. Pathologic Lymphadenopathy is when there is a symptom of infectious and noninfectious abnormalities or malignant diseases. Most Lymphadenopathies are benign and are associated with a short period of symptoms. Concerning diagnosis and management of adenopathy, especially in the case of children, research is still underway. For this r...

Aim Accurate clinical staging of cervical lymph nodes is essential for therapy planning in HNSCC patients, particularly cases non-surgical treatment without pathological staging. The aim this study was to evaluate the accuracy ultrasound elastography (UE) compared B-mode (US), CT, MRI and PET-MRI node patients.
