Sentinel Node Biopsy in Laryngeal Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy offers a minimally invasive approach to staging lymph node involvement in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Despite its adoption in other cancers, its accuracy in laryngeal SCC remains under investigation. This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluates the diagnostic performance of SLN mapping in laryngeal cancer.

Incidental Synchronous Tc-HYNIC-TOC Avid Lesion of the Neck in a Patient with Metastatic Melanoma: A Metastatic Lymph Node or a Carotid Body Tumor Masquerading As a Lymph Node?
