Title: | Ultrasonographic features of tuberculous cervical lymphadenitis | Authors: | Chou C.-H TSUNG-LIN YANG CHENG-PING WANG |
Keywords: | Cervical lymphadenitis; Tuberculosis; Ultrasound | Issue Date: | 2014 | Publisher: | Elsevier (Singapore) Pte Ltd | Journal Volume: | 22 | Journal Issue: | 3 | Start page/Pages: | 158-163 | Source: | Journal of Medical Ultrasound | Abstract: | Making an accurate diagnosis of tuberculous cervical lymphadenitis (TCL) has been a problem to clinicians because it is a versatile masquerader and is often confused with lymphomas or cervical metastases. Ultrasound (US) has advantages over other examination modalities in that it is noninvasive, inexpensive, time-saving, and able to guide procedures such as fine-needle aspiration and core-needle biopsy. It is increasingly being recognized as a primary tool for the evaluation of cervical lymph nodes. In this article, we present six cases with microscopically and/or pathologically confirmed TCL and illustrate the US features. A literature review was also conducted. The key US features of TCL include hypoechogenecity, strong internal echoes, echogenic thin layers, nodal matting, soft tissue changes, and displaced hilar vascularity. US is a reliable and effective tool in assessing cervical lymphadenopathies. When TCL is suspected under US, US-guided procedures such as fine-needle aspiration or core-needle biopsy can be conducted concomitantly to obtain the microscopic or pathological proof. ? 2014. |
