Abstract

To evaluate and compare the diagnostic accuracy of detecting malignant cervical lymph nodes using Clinical evaluation, CT scan and Ultrasonography and conrmation with histopathology in patients with squamous cell carcinoma. Atotal number of 30 patients, of both sexes, with carcinoma of different regions of the oral cavity, conrmed with incisional biopsy were included in this study. We found USG to be most sensitive (83.5%), followed by CT (78.3%) and clinical evaluation (63.7%). Similarly, CT scan was found to be most specic (81.5%), followed by USG (78.2%) and clinical evaluation (60.7%).
