Objectives: This study is aimed to review the ultrasound imaging (USG) of benign, malignant and metastases lesions in cervical lymph nodes. Literature Review: This article was written based on some scientific literatures in which will explain the interpretation technique and imaging characteristic to distinguish between benign, malignancies and metastases lesions in cervical lymph nodes through ultrasound imaging. There are many pathological conditions may occur in cervical lymph nodes that can be analyzed in ultrasound. The signs of benign, malignant and metastases lesions in cervical lymph nodes, all may have different characteristics. Those characteristics could help the practitioners and radiologists to distinguish the lesions based on several assessment categories. Hopefully, the reader of this article could understand the technique to distinguish benign, malignant and metastases lesions in neck lymph nodes in ultrasound. Conclusion: Ultrasonography is the most commonly used modality for lymph nodes examination, although the accuracy cannot be trusted or guaranteed 100% but this modality always be used and becoming one of all choices. Through the ultrasound, it could be concluded that some of the characteristics of the assessment can be a guide to distinguish benign, malignant and metastases lesions in cervical lymph nodes.

Ameloblastoma is a benign epithelial tumour and the most common odontogenic tumour, accounting for about 18% of cases. We present a patient to illustrate the first use of tomoelastography for quantitatively mapping tissue stiffness (shear wave speed) and fluidity (loss angle of the complex shear modulus) in a metastasised ameloblastoma of the left mandible. Tomoelastography maps clearly depicted the extent of the tumour by abnormally high values of stiffness and fluidity (1.73±0.23 m/s, 1.18±0.08 rad) compared with normal values in the contralateral mandible (1.04±0.09 m/s, 0.93±0.12 rad). Abnormal stiffness also revealed metastatic involvement of the neck lymph nodes (1.30±0.03 m/s vs 0.86±0.01 m/s). Taken together, stiffness and fluidity measured by tomoelastography can sensitively detect the presence and extent of bone tumours and metastatic spread to cervical lymph nodes.

Abstract Objective The aim of this study is to evaluate the clinicopathological features and the treatment of the Burkitt-like lymphoma with 11q aberration. Methods We reported two patients with Burkitt-like lymphoma with 11q aberration: a 56-year-old man with AIDS (case 1) and a 37-year-old woman (case 2) without AIDS. The biopsy of cervical lymph nodes showed Burkitt-like morphologic and immunophenotypic features. But both of them lack MYC rearrangement and carry an 11q-arm aberration with proximal gains and/or telomeric losses. The diagnosis was confirmed by pathological morphology, immunohistochemistry, and fluorescence in situ hybridization. Result After a cycle of R-CTOEP (rituximab, cyclophosphamide, pirarubicin, vincristine, and prednisone) chemotherapy, case 1 refused to chemotherapy and radiotherapy and was followed up for 34 months without recurrence and new focus. Case 2 received R-CHOP (rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone) for two cycles and achieved PR (partial response). Then, the patient in case 2 received EPOCH (etoposide, prednisone, vincristine, cyclophosphamide, and doxorubicin) for three cycles, and the right cervical mass disappeared. She achieved complete response and was followed up for 16 months without recurrence and new focus. Conclusion Burkitt-like lymphoma with 11q abnormalities resembles Burkitt lymphoma morphologically but lacks MYC rearrangement and may have a better prognosis.

Ultrasound Diagnostics

Despite the fact that otorhinolaryngologists are already very busy finding a solution to the problem of chronic tonsillitis, it remains unresolved. The prevalence of chronic tonsillitis does not decrease, but rather increases. Diseases of the tonsils are characteristic primarily of the child and adult working population. Chronic tonsillitis attracts attention not only as an independent disease, but as a cause of frequent local and especially systemic complications, which number more than 100. All these facts speak about the unresolved and urgency of the problem of chronic tonsil disease. In the diagnosis of neck diseases, one of the most common methods is ultrasound. It has a number of significant advantages over other methods, such as high sensitivity and specificity, the ability to detect minor changes in the organs, non-invasiveness of the study, painlessness, accessibility, and the absence of ionizing radiation. The aim of the literature review is to identify, analyze, and systematize literature data on the application of the ultrasonic research method in neck organ pathology. Ultrasound diagnostics in the neck is widely used and is actively studied in acute inflammatory-purulent pathology (paratonsillar abscesses, phlegmon), in the pathology of the larynx and trachea, salivary and thyroid glands, as well as in the metastasis of malignant neoplasms to the lymph nodes. There are several methods for diagnosing lymph nodes, such as: puncture and excision biopsy, lymphography, scintigraphy, thermography and ultrasound ultrasound. Despite such a variety of diagnostic methods, ultrasound is the method of choice for imaging cervical lymph nodes. One of the most modern methods in ultrasound diagnostics is elastography. This method is most informative in cases when changes in tissues are small in size and cannot be detected using standard ultrasound modes.

Kawasaki disease is a common childhood vasculitis. Fever and lymphadenopathy, at times, are the only clinical presentation of Kawasaki disease, which mimics infectious lymphadenitis, especially, when other features are yet to evolve. In such a scenario, ultrasonography of cervical lymph nodes can help to differentiate Kawasaki disease lymphadenitis from infectious lymphadenitis. We present one such patient who was initially diagnosed as having bacterial lymphadenitis; however, ultrasonography of the neck lymph nodes showed typical imaging features described with Kawasaki disease lymphadenitis.

Oral And Maxillofacial Regions

Various kinds of diseases may be found in the oral and maxillofacial regions and various modalities may be applied for their diagnosis, including intra-oral radiography, panoramic radiography, ultrasonography, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and nuclear medicine methods such as positron emission tomography. Of these modalities, ultrasound imaging is easy to use for the detection of noninvasive and soft tissue-related diseases. Doppler ultrasound images taken in the B-mode can provide vascular information associated with the morphology of soft tissues. Thus, ultrasound imaging plays an important role in confirming the diagnosis of many kinds of diseases in such oral and maxillofacial regions as the tongue, lymph nodes, salivary glands, and masticatory muscles. In the present article, we introduce three new applications of ultrasonography: guided fine-needle aspiration, measurement of tongue cancer thickness, and diagnosis of metastasis to cervical lymph nodes.
