title: [Radiologic diagnosis of outside-of-organs neck neoplasms].
abstract: To evaluate the efficiency of ultrasound (US) and computed tomography (CT) in diagnosis of neck neoplasms, 36 patients with 26 benign and 8 malignant tumors were examined. Also, 32 US-guided fine needle aspiration biopsies (FNAB) were performed. Both US and CT showed high efficiency in detecting neck masses but not in different diagnosis, except for lymphomas. However, FNAB discriminated between benign and malignant tumors with a sensitivity of 75%, specificity--96% and accuracy--90.9%.
