Preoperative ultrasound exploration of the cervical node regions was performed for 207 patients; US findings were compared with data obtained by physical examination and histopathologic analysis. Ultrasonography offers multiple advantages: detection of subclinical lymph nodes, accurate measurement of node volume, facilitating classification, evaluation of vascular relations, and particularly diagnosis of internal jugular vein thrombosis. Despite the limitations of ultrasonography, the rapidity and noninvasiveness of this technique make it the procedure of choice for the initial workup of patients with a cervicofacial epithelioma.
对207例患者进行了术前颈部淋巴结区域的超声探查；将超声检查结果与体格检查和组织病理学分析获得的数据进行了比较。超声检查具有多种优势：可检测亚临床淋巴结、准确测量淋巴结体积、便于分类、评估血管关系，尤其是诊断颈内静脉血栓形成。尽管超声检查存在局限性，但该技术的快速性和非侵入性使其成为颌面上皮瘤患者初始检查的首选方法。
