ABSTRACT

Objective To analyze the clinical value of the high frequency ultrasound in the enlarged superfi-cial lymph nodes diagnosis.Methods The enlarged superficial lymph nodes features and clinical data of 128 cases of enlarged superficial lymph nodes patients was studied in our hospital.Results The coincidence rate of the high-fre-quency ultrasound in the diagnosis of enlarged superficial lymph nodes was 90.5%.There were 20 cases misdiag-nosed.The long and short diameter of lymph nodes in the benign group were (2.2 ±0.8)cm,(1.0 ±0.4)cm.The long and short diameter of lymph nodes in the malignant group were (3.4 ±1.0)cm,(1.7 ±0.9)cm.The two groups had significant difference (t=9.13,5.11,all P <0.05).The RI of the malignant group and benign group were (0.44 ±0.06) and (0.83 ±0.23),respectively.The two groups had significant difference (t=5.06,P<0.05). Conclusion The high-frequency ultrasound has a high application value in the diagnosis of lymph nodes.It could effectively reduce the misdiagnosis and miss diagnosis in combination with characteristics of nodular internal blood flow and nodular morphology characteristics.
