    Radiologic imaging, including CT and ultrasound, aids in diagnosing cervical adenopathy. These techniques are crucial for identifying metastatic disease, inflammation, or masses in the neck, guiding accurate diagnosis.

    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Oncology
    • Otolaryngology

    Background:

    • Cervical adenopathy presents diagnostic challenges, requiring differentiation between metastatic disease, inflammatory conditions, and other masses.
    • Pre-imaging clinical examination by oral/maxillofacial or ENT surgeons is standard practice.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the utility of various radiologic modalities in diagnosing the cause of cervical adenopathy.
    • To assess the effectiveness of computed tomography (CT), ultrasonography (US), and sialography in identifying primary sites and specific pathologies.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of nine patients with cervical adenopathy.
    • Radiologic evaluation included CT (seven patients), ultrasonography (three patients), and sialography (two patients), with varying combinations.

  • No intravenous contrast was administered in the CT examinations.

    • Main Results:

    • A primary metastatic site was diagnosed in five patients; one case remained undiagnosed.
    • Hodgkin's disease was diagnosed in one patient with submandibular nodal enlargement post-biopsy.
    • Tuberculous cervical lymphadenopathy was confirmed in two patients.

    Conclusions:

    • Computerized tomography (CT), particularly with intravenous contrast, and ultrasonography (US) are essential routine examinations for diagnosing cervical metastatic disease.
    • Sialography can be valuable in specific cases.
    • Comprehensive radiologic assessment is necessary prior to definitive diagnosis of cervical adenopathy.
