Contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is an effective way to evaluate the distribution of micro vessels in organs with little invasiveness. The qualitative evaluation and differential diagnosis of lymph node is essential for a number of clinical situations, including appropriate examination selection, oncologic staging, therapy and prognosis beyond diagnosis itself. The purpose of this study is to investigate the contribution of characterization of cervical lymphadenopathies on CEUS as an indication for lymph node puncture biopsy.
