A
  • oral cavity
  • face
  • salivary glands
  • thyroid
  • larynx
26
Q

reactive lymphadenopathy - characteristics

A
  • enlarged lymph nodes
  • tender
  • typically related to URI
27
Q

Deep neck abscess

  • def
  • from what usually
A
  • lymphatic infection with transition to abscess

- oral cavity and pharyngeal infections

28
Q

  • odynophagia (painful swallowing)
29
Q

When to surgically incise and drain deep neck abscess

A

airway management

30
Q

A

inflamed lymph node

31
Q

when suspect lymph node malignancy

A

persistent adenopathy without any infectious cause

32
Q

Find a cancerous lymph node in neck - what else is happening

A

lymph is secondary malignancy, must find first, send to specialist

33
Q

How treat reactive lymphadenopathy?

A

don’t

- usually resolves on own

34
Q

Imaging methods to workup neoplastic neck mass

A
  • US: est. size and characteristics, no radiation, good to monitor growth
  • CT w/contrast: characterize extent and character, most common
  • MRI: alt to CT but less common, more time and money
35
Q

Ways to biopsy neck mass

A

fine needle aspiration

  • w/ or w/o US guidance
  • easily palpable masses

Open surgical

  • avoided if possible
  • use in lymphoma to best characterize tumor
36

tracks uptake of fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)

  • radioactive isotope of fluorine attached to glucose
  • increased uptake in infected tissue, malignant neoplasms
37
Q

When is PET-CT imaging used

A
  • staging

- post-treatment f/u

38
Q

Squamous cell carcinoma

A
  • aways metastatic
  • most common ca head and neck
  • must determine source for adequate therapy
39
Q

Unknown primary squamous cell carcinoma

A
  • prim. source is unable to be determined

- entire pharynx from naso- to hypo- is treated with chemo/radiation

40
Q

Salivary malignancy

A
  • drain to level 1-3
  • surgical excision
  • radiation
41
Q

Lymphoma

A
  • present in any lymph group
  • FNA biopsy to determine malignant process
  • excisions biopsy usually needed for further classification
42
Q

Supraclavicular adenopathy

A
  • LEFT nodes should raise concern for visceral mal
