Objective: The purpose of this study is to determine the utility of cervical lymph node fine needle aspiration (FNA) in patients with sonographically normal lymph nodes and without history of malignancy.
Methods: A total of 24 adult patients without prior history of malignancy who had ultrasound-guided FNA of a single enlarged cervical lymph node were identified. Images of lymph nodes in these patients were retrospectively evaluated for characteristics indicative of malignancy-shape, sharpness of borders, absence of an echogenic hilum, calcifications, necroses/cysts, and peripheral vascularity.
