Cervical cancer is the most common genital tract malignancy among women, accounting for many deaths in developing countries like India. . Most of metastasis to neck nodes arise from primary tumors head andneck. 54 year old multiparous postmenopausal woman with a lump left side her neck. Ultrasound revealed multiple enlarged hypoechoic lymphnodes, FNAC showed carcinomatous deposits nodes. no pal...

objectives: presence/absence of cervical lymph node metastasis plays a critical role in prognosis and survival of patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (scc). this study was designed to assess the diagnostic accuracy of computed tomography (ct) scan for detection of cervical lymph node metastasis in oral scc in comparison with histopathological analysis after neck dissection methods: in th...

rely on indirect evidence of nodal metastases. These include nodal enlargement, three or more borderline–sized nodes in a primary drainage pathway, and a nodal morphology showing a change from an elliptical to a spherical shape. The development of accurate radiologic criteria is important since 25% or more of patients presenting with head and neck cancer and no clinically palpable neck disease ...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to compare diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI) with computed tomography perfusion (CTP) for preoperative detection of metastases to lymph nodes (LNs) in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). METHODS Between May 2010 and April 2012, 30 patients with head and neck SCC underwent preoperative DWI and CTP. Two radiologists measured apparent ...

BACKGROUND The presence of metastatic disease in cervical lymph nodes of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) patients is a very important determinant in therapy choice and prognosis, with great impact in overall survival. Frequently, routine lymph node staging cannot detect occult metastases and the post-surgical histologic evaluation of resected lymph nodes is not sensitive in detect...

It is well known that malignant laryngeal tumours can extend from their site of origin into tributary lymph nodes, depending on their location and size. Management protocols almost always include concomitant surgical treatment of both the tumour and cervical nodes. When palpable lymph nodes are present, dissection is mandatory but there is no general agreement on the option of choice in clinica...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to establish whether the site of lymph node metastasis influences the survival of patients with carcinoma of the thoracic esophagus. METHODS A series of 159 patients with lymph node metastasis who underwent right transthoracic R0 esophagectomy was analyzed retrospectively. Sites of the nodal metastasis were divided into two regions; the neck and/or upper m...

Metastatic cervical lymph nodes are a frequent finding in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). If non-surgical approach is primarily chosen, therapy response evaluation of the primary tumor affected necessary follow-up. Supplementary contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) can be used to precisely visualize microcirculation target lesion neck, whereby malignant benign findings differ thei...

Cancer of the tongue or the floor of the mouth sometimes metastasizes to the lingual lymph node. We present two patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the floor of the mouth who developed metastases to the lateral lingual lymph nodes. Case 1, a 62-year old male, had squamous cell carcinoma of the floor of the mouth (T3N2cM0). He underwent tumor resection and bilateral neck dissection, and his...
