Abstract:
Objective To investigate the role of muhiple diagnostic methods in the head and neck tumor.Methods One hundred and ninety-six patients without definite pathological diagnosis referred from other hospitals were included in this retrospective study.All patients had a biopsy or fine needle aspiration (FNA) of the suspected region after detailed medical history enquiry,physical examination and imaging examination.Results All patients had ultrasound-guided FNA except 4 patients who had direct FNA.One hundred and seventy-one patients (87.2%) were confirmed to have tumor cells by pathological diagnosis,among them,31 patients by biopsy of primary region alone,106 by FNA,and 34 by both.The positive rate of FNA was 71.4% (140/196) for the whole group,71.1% (123/173),66.7% (10/15) and 87.5% (7/8) for retropharyngeal lymph node subgroup,parapharyngeal space subgroup and oropharynx subgroup.Conclusion The combined use of endoscope,MRI,and ultrasound-guided FNA is useful for the diagnosis of head and neck tumor.
