Sonographic Evaluation of Cervical

Lymph Nodes
OBJECTIVE. Sonography is a useful imaging tool in the evaluation of cervical lymph
nodes. Gray-scale sonography and color and power Doppler sonography are commonly used
in clinical practice. This article documents the common sonographic appearances of different
causes of cervical lymphadenopathy.
CONCLUSION. The sonographic appearances of normal nodes differ from those of ab-
normal nodes. Sonographic features that help to identify abnormal nodes include shape
(round), absent hilus, intranodal necrosis, reticulation, calcification, matting, soft-tissue
edema, and peripheral vascularity.

and neck [1] and non–head and
neck [2] cancers. In patients with
squamous cell carcinoma in the head and
neck, the presence of a metastatic node re-
duces the 5-year survival rate to 50%, and
the presence of another metastatic node on
the contralateral side further reduces the 5-
year survival rate to 25% [3]. Therefore,
evaluation of cervical lymph nodes is impor-
tant in patients with cancers because it aids
in the assessment of patient prognosis and
helps in planning treatment. Cervical lymph
nodes are also common sites of involvement
of lymphoma; tuberculous lymphadenitis;
and other benign lymphadenitis such as
Kikuchi’s disease, Kimura’s disease, and
Rosai-Dorfman disease [4, 5].
Sonography is a useful imaging tool in
the assessment of cervical lymph nodes.
Gray-scale sonography is widely used in the
evaluation of the number, size, site, shape,
borders, matting, adjacent soft-tissue
edema, and internal architectures of cervical
lymph nodes. Although both color and
power Doppler sonography are routine, 3D
sonography is not commonly used to assess
the intranodal vascular distribution. With
the use of spectral Doppler sonography, the
be measured. The purpose of this article is to
briefly reiterate and illustrate the sono-
graphic features of normal and abnormal
cervical lymph nodes.
Normal and Reactive Lymph Nodes
In sonography examinations, cervical
lymph nodes are usually classified into
eight regions (Fig. 1). Normal and reactive
lymph nodes are usually found in subman-
dibular, parotid, upper cervical, and poste-
rior triangle regions. On gray-scale
sonography, normal and reactive nodes
tend to be hypoechoic compared with adja-
cent muscles and oval (short axis–to–long
axis ratio [S/L] < 0.5) except for subman-
dibular and parotid nodes, which are usu-
ally round (S/L ≥ 0.5), and to have an
echogenic hilus [6] (Fig. 2). The upper limit
in minimal axial diameter of normal and re-
active nodes is 9 mm for subdigastric and
submandibular nodes and 8 mm for other
cervical nodes [7].
On color Doppler, power Doppler, and
3D sonography, normal cervical nodes
show hilar vascularity or appear avascular,
and reactive nodes predominantly show hi-
lar vascularity [6] (Fig. 3). On spectral
Doppler sonography, normal and reactive

nodes usually show low vascular resistance
(resistive index [RI] and pulsatility index
[PI]) [6] (Fig. 4). Inflammation causes va-
sodilatation, which increases blood flow
velocity in reactive lymph nodes. It may ex-
plain the low vascular resistance in reactive
lymph nodes given that high blood flow ve-
locity is always associated with a lower
vascular resistance.
Malignant Lymph Nodes
Malignant lymph nodes include meta-
static and lymphomatous nodes. On gray-
scale sonography, metastatic nodes are usu-
ally hypoechoic, round, and without
echogenic hilus (Fig. 5A). Coagulation ne-
crosis, which appears as a demarcated
echogenic focus, may be found in metastatic
nodes (Fig. 5A). Eccentric cortical hypertro-
phy is a useful sign to indicate focal tumor
infiltration (Fig. 5B). Lymph nodes with
cystic necrosis are suggestive of malig-
nancy, and intranodal cystic necrosis is com-
mon in metastatic nodes from squamous cell
carcinomas (Fig. 5C).
A proven metastatic lymph node with ill-
defined borders may suggest extracapsular
spread and patients may have a poor progno-

sis (Fig. 5D). Metastatic nodes from papil-
lary carcinoma of the thyroid may be
hyperechoic compared with adjacent mus-
cles and have punctate calcifications [8]
(Fig. 5E). In Hodgkin’s lymphoma and
non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, lymph nodes
tend to be round, hypoechoic, and without
echogenic hilus and tend to show intranodal
reticulation [9] (Fig. 6).
On color Doppler, power Doppler, and 3D
sonography, metastatic and lymphomatous
nodes usually show peripheral (Fig. 7) or mixed
(Fig. 8) vascularity. On spectral Doppler sonog-
raphy, malignant lymph nodes tend to have high
RI and PI values [8] (Fig. 9). In metastatic
nodes, blood vessels within the nodes are com-
pressed by tumor cells, which grow and spread
and replace a large portion of the lymph node,
resulting in an increase in vascular resistance.
Gray-scale sonography has a sensitivity of
95% and a specificity of 83% in differentiating

metastatic and reactive nodes [10]. Color or
power Doppler sonography is essential and
useful to patients when gray-scale sonogra-
phy is equivocal. In one study, power Doppler
sonography aided in the diagnosis of 5% of
patients with metastatic nodes and 17% of pa-
tients with reactive nodes [10].
Tuberculous Lymph Nodes
On gray-scale sonography, tuberculous
nodes tend to be hypoechoic, round, and with-
out echogenic hilus and tend to show intranodal
cystic necrosis, nodal matting, and adjacent
soft-tissue edema [8] (Fig. 10). On color Dop-
pler, power Doppler, and 3D sonography, the
vascular distribution of tuberculous nodes is
varied and simulates benign and malignant
nodes. However, displacement of hilar vascu-
larity is common in tuberculous nodes and is
due to the high incidence of intranodal cystic ne-
crosis, which displaces the vessels, in tubercu-
lous nodes [11] (Fig. 11).
Unusual Lymphadenopathy
Diseases such as Kikuchi’s disease (histio-
cytic necrotizing lymphadenitis), Kimura’s
disease (eosinophilic hyperplastic lymphogranu-
loma), and Rosai-Dorfman disease (sinus histi-
ocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy) may
show benign and inflammatory lymphadenopa-
thy in the neck. Kikuchi’s disease is a self-lim-
iting and benign lymphadenitis in which
cervical nodes are usually affected. Kimura’s
disease is an autoimmune eosinophilic granulo-

matous disorder with generalized lymphaden-
opathy. Rosai-Dorfman disease is a rare
idiopathic benign histiocytic proliferation, and
massive lymphadenopathy is usually found in
the neck region with predominant sinusoidal
histiocyte infiltration.
On sonography, lymph nodes involved with

Kikuchi’s and Kimura’s diseases have an ap-
pearance similar to that of reactive nodes,
which tend to be hypoechoic, and have an
echogenic hilus. In patients with Kikuchi’s dis-
ease, lymph nodes are usually oval (Fig. 12A),
whereas lymph nodes in patients with
Kimura’s disease are usually round (Fig. 13A).
On power Doppler sonography [12, 13], lymph
nodes in patients with Kikuchi’s disease and
Kimura’s disease tend to show hilar vascular-
ity [12, 13] (Figs. 12B and 13B). In patients
with Rosai-Dorfman disease, involved lymph
nodes appear similar to malignant nodes,
which are hypoechoic, round, and without
echogenic hilus (Fig. 14A). On power Doppler
sonography, involved lymph nodes in Rosai-
Dorfman disease also have an appearance sim-
ilar to that of malignant nodes and show pe-
ripheral or mixed vascularity [12] (Fig. 14B).
AJR:184, May 2005
Because the sonographic appearance of these
unusual lymphadenopathies is similar to that
of reactive or malignant nodes, the diagnosis is
still based on histology.
