Although transcutaneous ultrasound combined with fine-needle aspiration is often used as initial modality for evaluating superficial neck masses, its role in management of deep-seated neck masses is limited. Intraoral ultrasound and guided biopsy helps in obtaining tissue from deep-seated neck masses for an accurate histologic diagnosis, providing useful information in treatment planning. This article discusses the role of intraoral ultrasound and presents 3 cases in which biopsy of deep-seated neck masses under intraoral ultrasound guidance helped in diagnosis and management.
尽管经皮超声联合细针穿刺抽吸术常被用作评估颈部浅表肿块的初始方法,但其在深部颈部肿块管理中的作用有限。口腔内超声及引导下活检有助于从深部颈部肿块获取组织以进行准确的组织学诊断,为治疗方案的制定提供有用信息。本文讨论了口腔内超声的作用,并介绍了3例在口腔内超声引导下对深部颈部肿块进行活检有助于诊断和管理的病例。
