Abstract Background We evaluated the prevalence and identified the risk factors for retropharyngeal and retro-styloid lymph node metastasis (LNM) in patients with hypopharyngeal carcinoma (HPC). This was achieved using a combination of magnetic resonance (MR) and [18 F]-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG)–positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) images. Methods Two board-certified radiation oncologists retrospectively reviewed pretreatment FDG–PET/CT images and contrast-enhanced thin-slice CT and MR images of 155 patients with HPC who underwent radiotherapy. Fisher’s exact tests and logistic regression analyses were performed to assess the risk factors for LNM. Results Retropharyngeal LNM (RPLNM) was confirmed in 20 (13%) patients. Posterior wall (PW) tumors (odds ratio [OR]: 4.128, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.339–12.727; p = 0.014) and bilateral or contralateral cervical LNM (OR: 11.577, 95% CI: 2.135–62.789; p = 0.005) were significantly correlated with RPLNM. The RPLNM was found in 9 (32%) of the 28 patients with PW tumors. Of these 9 patients, 2 (7%) had ipsilateral RPLNM, 3 (11%) had contralateral RPLNM, and 4 (14%) had bilateral RPLNM. The PW tumors were significantly associated with contralateral RPLNM (p |
