Abstract

While there are a variety of causes of cervical lymphadenopathy (see Box 2.1), the primary role for imaging in cervical lymphadenopathy is to diagnose metastatic disease in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), which significantly impacts treatment. Other nonneoplastic causes of cervical lymphadenopathy, including various infectious and inflammatory diseases, usually do not require routine imaging. This chapter reviews the anatomy and classification of cervical lymph nodes, diagnostic criteria, and imaging findings of lymph node metastasis and the imaging appearance of other benign cervical lymphadenopathies.
