“…These observations should be helpful to the clinician in assessing whether the tumor observations should be helpful to the clinician in assessing whether the tumor itself is rapidly enlarging, or whether a secondary phenomenon such as hemorrhage or necrosis of tumor has occurred. Wiley e t a1 (7) have also found ultrasonography useful in evaluating neoplastic nodes in the neck and report their ability to delineate the node boundaries, proximity to major vessels, and response to chemotherapy.…”

Maxillofacial surgery, like any other surgical specialty is greatly dependent on the discipline of radiology. This poses a greater challenge because of the complex anatomy of this region. Various investigation modalities have been applied in diagnosing various diseases which are found in the maxillofacial region, including IOPA, PET, USG, CT, MRI and panoramic radiographs. Of these, USG can easily diagnose non invasive and soft tissue diseases. It is very useful in diagnosing the diseases which are not usually evident on a conventional radiograph. However; many of the dentists are not aware of the benefits of USG in diagnosis of oral diseases. In this article, the use of ultrasound in diagnosing the various pathologies of maxillofacial region is elaborated.

“…Early reports were focused on the ability of ultrasound to quantify lymph node size and volume, and the possibilities to define the relationship of palpable nodes to adjacent structures [1][2][3]. In 1984, Bruneton et al [4] were the first to recognize the value of ultrasound to detect subclinical disease.…”

Ultrasound of the neck is, when combined with ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy (UGFNAB), an accurate test for nodal disease in patients with head and neck squamous cell cancer (HNSCC). The combined procedure is characterized by high sensitivity and specificity. Therefore, the technique is suited for demonstrating, detecting and excluding cervical metastatic disease. This paper will discuss how to interpret the diagnostic information supplied by US-UGFNAB. It is concluded that US-UGFNAB is a promising concept of methodic use of both an imaging technique and cytopathologic examination in the evaluation of patients with HNSCC. Application of the combined procedure may produce a more accurate classification of these patients and may change indications for therapeutic and elective neck treatment. In addition, US-UGFNAB may prove to be valuable during follow-up of patients with HNSCC, in the accurate preoperative assessment of the carotid artery in patients with metastatic neck disease, and the detection of lymph nodes in patients with malignancies other than HNSCC.
