Ultrasound in metastatic neck disease.
Statistical data have been collected from the literature concerning the value of B-scan sonography in detecting lymph node metastases in patients with different ENT malignancies. It is shown that up to now several attempts have been made in order to raise the specificity of ultrasound in this field. Some typical features of lymph node metastases are presented by showing their sonographic structures.
