pubmed-article:21439893pubmed:abstractTextCurrently, selection of lymph nodes for ultrasound-guided-fine-needle-aspiration cytology (USgFNAC) in patients with HNSCC relies mainly on size of lymph nodes. This retrospective study was undertaken to assess the potential value of size, laterality, level and changes in size as criteria for selection of nodes that need to be aspirated during follow-up of patients. We aim to reduce the number of unnecessary aspirations being performed without decreasing accuracy of USgFNAC. Eighty-one patients with oral cavity carcinoma (OCC) were eligible for observation-policy regarding treatment of the neck and received transoral excision of OCC. Selection of nodes for fine-needle-aspiration-cytology (FNAC) was based on size criterion. Localization (side and level) and size of aspirated lymph nodes were scored. Data on treatment and follow-up were collected and analyzed to assess the value of the used criteria. During follow-up all 17 positive nodes were found, of which 16 were ipsilateral. Contralateral metastasis was found in a patient with ipsilateral metastasis and a tumor crossing the midline. Minimal axial diameter (MAD) of all positive nodes was larger than 5.0mm in level II or 4.0mm in other levels. Follow-up aspirations in patients with OCC performed in the neck by USgFNAC can be reduced by 56% without increasing false-negative lymph nodes if follow-up aspirations would only be performed on the ipsilateral neck in lymph nodes with a MAD of 5mm in level II and 4mm in other levels or larger and in lymph nodes with rapid change of diameter.lld:pubmed
