Ultrasound and palpation findings of 17 patients with branchiogenic cysts were studied. Results were compared with operative and histopathologic findings in 13 patients, and to fistulography, cytologic examination and/or CT in 4 patients. Ultrasound findings (appearance, location and extension) were characteristic in 15 of 17 cases. Palpation proved to be incorrect or inconclusive in more than half of the patients. It is concluded that ultrasound examination of the neck may contribute to the correct presurgery diagnosis of branchiogenic cysts.
对17例鳃裂囊肿患者的超声及触诊结果进行了研究。将结果与13例患者的手术及组织病理学结果进行了比较,并与4例患者的瘘管造影、细胞学检查和/或CT结果进行了比较。17例中有15例的超声表现(外观、位置及范围)具有特征性。超过半数患者的触诊结果被证明是错误的或不明确的。结论是,颈部超声检查有助于鳃裂囊肿术前的正确诊断。
