Ultrasonic evaluation of cervical lymph node metastasis of squamous cell carcinoma in oral cavity.
Forty-four patients with oral cancer were examined by ultrasonography to detect cervical lymph nodal metastases. The lymph nodes, which were histopathologically or clinically confirmed to have cancer metastases, showed the following characteristic echogram findings: distinctive nodal boundary, posterior echo enhancement and an increased ratio of the shortest and the longest diameters of the node. It is suggested that these three peculiar ultrasonographic findings are considered to be important items for the differential diagnosis of benign nodes from the cervical metastasis of oral cancer.
