      A: It depends on the site and classification. If the patient has a p16+ oropharyngeal primary, the size of the lymph node does not matter for pN. It does matter for cN and both cN and pN for p16- primaries. For these primaries I would assign an NX if the size of the lymph node was not given.

      Level VII (the superior mediastinal lymph node compartment) is included in the illustration for completeness, but except for thyroid cancer, it is rarely involved by head and neck cancer. Additional node groups are described in the TNM atlas terminology, which divides the nodes into 12 groups, including retropharyngeal, parotid, buccal ...

      Sentinel lymph node is the first lymph node to receive drainage from the primary tumor. Pathology of the sentinel lymph node is representative of the non-sentinel lymph nodes and a negativ esentinel lymph node predicts the absence of tumor metastases in the nonsentinel lymph nodes.

      METHODS: We reviewed the records of seven pediatric patients with head and neck melanoma or borderline melanocytic proliferations of unknown biologic potential who underwent IOLM and SLNB between 1998 and 2001. All sentinel lymph node specimens were examined by a melanoma dermatopathologist for the presence of metastatic melanoma.

      Regional lymph nodes are found within the anatomic area in which a tumour is located and receive lymphatic drainage from that area. They are, therefore, anatomically related to the tumour and may be the earliest sites of lymph node metastases.

      There is conflicting data in the literature on the significance of the size of the largest metastatic lymph node on the risk of regional recurrence and a predictor of poor overall survival.24 While the diameter of the largest positive lymph node may potentially serve as a predictor of outcome, it may not represent an independent predictor of ...
