Accuracy of CT in detecting squamous carcinoma metastases in cervical lymph nodes.

Abstract:

:The accuracy of computed tomography (CT) in the assessment of nodal metastases was correlated retrospectively with the pathological examination in 28 patients with known head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, who underwent neck dissections. Three patients had bilateral neck dissections resulting in a total of 31 dissections. CT scanning correctly staged 28 of 31 neck dissections providing an accuracy of 90%, a sensitivity of 87.5% and a specificity of 100% in the detection of nodal metastases. Of the 21 true positives, underestimation of the extent of nodal disease occurred in seven cases. Regarding extracapsular nodal spread, CT resulted in an accuracy of 62%, a sensitivity of 62.5% and a specificity of 60%. All three false negatives for nodal metastases occurred in metastatic spread to the submandibular nodes. The existing criteria for assessment of nodal metastases with CT are sensitive and specific, but in the assessment of extranodal spread CT may not detect 37.5% of cases.
