Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Diagnosis Research (IJMSDR) - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
Background- Cervical lymphadenopathy is one of the most common causes of mass in head and neck region; there are various causes of CL common among them are reactive, tuberculosis, metastasis, and lymphoma. Methods- In this study, 100 patients age between 12 years and 80 years with cervical lymphadenopathy referred for ultrasonography of neck to the Department of Radiodiagnosis, S.P.
