Abstract: Objective: Its objective is to diagnose cervical metastatic lymphadenopathy using helical CT scan in comparison with histopathological findings. Design: It is a comparative type of cross sectional study Patients and Method: Place of study was Radiological ward of Bahawal Victoria Hospital Bahawalpur,Pakistan. Duration of study was October 2016 to September 2017. Study was completed in 12 months. This study involves 60 patients which were undergone Helical CT scan examination of cervical lymph nodes after giving an intravenous contrast medium. Signs of cervical lymph nodes metastasis were observed such as Shape, structure ring enhancement and size of nodes. These findings were compared with results of histopathological examination. Results: This study was done on 60 cases with age from 25 to 70 years. Among 60 cases 56 were diagnosed for metastatic lymphadenopathy on the bases of findings on CT scan. Three cases were false positive and one case was diagnosed as false negative on CT scan examination. Conclusion: Ct scan with Iv contrast is very helpful in making diagnosis and management of cervical lymphadenopathy in patients with metastatic disease.
Key words: CT scan, cervical lyphadenopathy, metastatic disease
