Radionuclide lymphoscintigraphy performed in 25 cases, increased radioactivity in the neck tumor area was seen in 8 cases; Direct lymphangiography performed in 17 cases,outlet obstruction of cervical thoracic duct was found in 14 cases. Twenty one cases were treated by operation and followed up for 6-47 months. No recurrence was found; 4 cases abandoned surgery, 1 case was lost to follow-up, and the other 3 cases were followed up for 16-48 months with tumor progresses.Conclusions:
