CT is very suitable for showing cervical lymphatic spread in malignant tumors of the head and neck. The regional lymph-node areas of 123 patients with histologically proven malignant tumours of the oral cavity, hypopharynx and larynx were evaluated in a prospective study. Clinical examination, CT-findings and pathological work up of the surgical specimens were comparatively analysed in 53 patients. The proportion of false negative lymph-nodes on palpation was 21%. This error could be reduced by the use of CT to 7.5%.
CT非常适合显示头颈部恶性肿瘤的颈部淋巴转移情况。在一项前瞻性研究中，对123例经组织学证实患有口腔、下咽和喉恶性肿瘤的患者的区域淋巴结区域进行了评估。对53例患者的临床检查、CT检查结果及手术标本的病理检查进行了对比分析。触诊时假阴性淋巴结的比例为21%。使用CT可将这一误差降至7.5%。
