background: to evaluate the efficacy of color doppler ultrasound (cdus) in differentiating benign and malignant cervical lymph nodes by detecting differences in blood flow patterns. materials and methods: in this cross‑sectional prospective study, 25 untreated patients with clinical evidence of cervical lymphadenopathy were evaluated. cdus was performed for 80 cervical lymph nodes. the gray sca...

cervical and supraclavicular lymph nodes metastases generally arise from carcinomas of the head and neck. metastases to cervical lymph nodes from the prostate are very rare. the common site for lymph node metastasis from the prostate is infradiaphrag- matic. herein, we report a 69 year-old male who presented with cervical lymph node enlargement in the setting of prostate cancer. this type of pr...

detection of lymph nodes (lns) involvement by various pathological processes has great therapeutic and prognostic implications. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the usefulness and accuracy of triplex sonography (gray scale, color mapping and spectral doppler) in differentiating benign from malignant cervical lns. we used triplex sonography to evaluate 120 lns in 50 patients. the gray s...

the imaging assessment of nodal disease can be challenging for the radiologist because there are multiple sites to review and differing opinions about criteria for abnormal nodes. the ability to accurately detect nodal metastases is improved with knowledge of the criteria for abnormal nodes, the nodal drainage patterns, and common imaging pitfalls. in this article, we introduce these basic conc...

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...

Herein, we report a case of sentinel lymph node mapping in a uterine cervix cancer patient, referring to the nuclear medicine department of our institute. Lymphoscintigraphy images showed inappropriate intra‐cervical injection of radiotracer. Blue dye technique was applied for sentinel lymph node mapping, using intra‐cervical injection of methylene blue. Two blue/cold sentinel lymph nodes, with...

A 19-year-old girl referred to our clinic complaining of a painless lump on the left side of her tongue.  The patient had no history of dysphagia, lingual paresthesia or bleeding. Physical examination revealed the presence of multiple enlarged lymph nodes on the left side of her neck.  Histopathology of lingual mass and lymph nodes showed pleomorphic adenoma.  To our knowledge, this is the firs...

510 cases of surgical lymph node biopsies during a five year periode are reviewed with the following conclusionsthe lymph node biopsy constitues 5% of all the surgical biopsies, the cervical and axillary lymph nodes are the most commonly biopsicd nodes due to their easy accessibility and due to the fact that they drain the lymph from many vital organs: the next most commonly biopsied nodes are ...

the most common metastatic sites for colorectal carcinomas include the liver, lungs, brain, bones and peritoneal surfaces. in this report, a case of sigmoid colon carcinoma presented with cervical lymphadenopathy was detected with the help of pet/ct. a 57 year-old male presented with a complaint of swelling on the left side of his neck. ultrasonographic examination of the neck revealed three hy...
