Sonography of neck lymph nodes. Part I: normal lymph nodes.

Grey scale and power Doppler sonography play an important role in assessment of cervical lymphadenopathy. However, before examination of pathological nodes, a clear understanding of the anatomy of cervical nodes, scanning technique and sonographic appearances of normal cervical nodes is essential. This article reviews these topics in order to provide a baseline for sonographic examination of cervical lymphadenopathy.

The contemporary incidence of lymph node metastases in prostate cancer: implications for laparoscopic lymph node dissection.

The incidence of lymphatic metastases in 229 consecutive patients with clinically localized prostatic cancer was assessed. Only 13 patients had nodal metastases, for an incidence of 5.7%. A monoclonal prostatic specific antigen value of more than 40 ng./ml. correlated with a positive predictive value of 53% for nodal metastases. Routine laparoscopic node dissection is unnecessary considering the low incidence of nodal metastases.
