72-year-old male with cervical adenopathy with right anterior immobile mass. In the area of palpable abnormality in the right neck there are adjacent, dense calcifications which appear nodal. Although not grossly abnormal in shape, due to shadowing it is difficult to visualize margination of lymph nodes. These are similar rounded calcifications at level 2 and 3 as well as the right submandibular region.At level 2 on the left there is an area of densely shadowing calcification measuring 0.6 x 1.1 x 0.7 cm. This may represent calcified lymph node although underlying substance is obscured by shadowing calcification.Due to the calcification in lymph nodes, brief exam of the thyroid was performed. In the inferior right lobe there is a spongiform-appearing 0.7 x 0.7 x 0.8 cm nodule
Significant, bilateral neck calcifications likely nodal. Although portions of these regions are secured by shadowing from the calcification. An associated solid mass is not definitely visualized.CT May be preferable to evaluate the above findings.
