Popis:	Lymph node tuberculosis is the most frequent tuberculous manifestation in the otorhinolaryngological area. In 13 patients with histologically verified tuberculous lymphadenitis cervical sonographic examinations revealed characteristic findings. The sonographic features typical for this disease were multiple, enlarged, conglomerating roundish and oval lymph nodes. These lymph nodes were hypoechoic, exhibited dorsal sound amplification and had sharp margins. With caseation, however, there were blurred borders. In cold abscesses an inhomogeneous texture with inhomogeneous shadows was found. Differential diagnosis included non-specific abscess-forming lymphadenitis, lymph node metastases and malignant lymphoma. A tentative diagnosis of cervical lymph node tuberculosis may be made due to the polymorphous sonographic pattern if history and clinical findings are taken into account. A proper histological and microbiological work-up is still essential for confirmation of the sonographic diagnosis.
