[The usefulness of ultrasound examination in the diagnosis of neck tumors].
Ultrasound examination is a fast, easy to carry out and relatively easily accessible one. This examination allows in the first stage to define the character of the change--cyst-like change, solid change, enlarged lymph nodes, and to establish topographic data, especially the relation to main blood vessels of the neck. The examination of 150 patients with neck changes of tumour type was carried out, the characteristic features of changes in case of solid tumours, benign and malignant ones, cyst-like changes, enlarged lymph nodes were presented. The comparison of the results of the ultrasound examination and the results of histopathological tests shows their substantial compliance.
