✦ Synopsis

Abstract

The pathological findings in 62 patients with head and neck cancers who underwent neck dissection during a 12‐month period are presented. Histological confirmation of metastatic disease was obtained in 46 cases (74%). In the remaining 16 cases (26%), there was no evidence of metastasis from the primary tumor. In 7 cases (11%), there was unexpected pathology in the cervical lymph nodes which was not related to the primary tumor. Accurate clinical staging of head and neck tumors is made increasingly more difficult in such cases where unrelated or dual lymph node pathology exists.

## Abstract Retropharyngeal lymph node (RPLN) metastasis of primary head and neck cancer often receives less consideration than lymph node metastasis in the neck. With improvements in imaging techniques and reports of surgical pathology, there is an improved understanding of the risk and subsequent

## Abstract ## Background. In the past, surgeons believed that in order to eradicate regional disease, a radical or modified radical neck dissection was necessary. An evolution in surgical principles and the popularization of primary chemoradiation has raised the questions regarding the role of ne
