Neurotropism by a carcinoma in the head and neck refers to invasion in, around, and through peripheral nerves. This invasion may be along planes of least resistance in the connective tissue coverings of the nerve or less frequently by endolymphatic spread. The only lymphatics associated with a nerve are those in the perineural covering and in the epineurium. Such malignant neurotropism is to be distinguished from benign epithelial inclusions simulating neural invasion.
头颈部癌的神经侵袭是指癌组织侵入、围绕并穿过周围神经。这种侵袭可能沿着神经结缔组织被膜中阻力最小的平面进行，较少情况下通过淋巴管扩散。与神经相关的唯一淋巴管存在于神经束膜和神经外膜中。这种恶性神经侵袭应与模拟神经侵袭的良性上皮包涵体相鉴别。
