34 year old male with right anterior cervical enlarged lymph node. A targeted ultrasound exam was performed of the patient's right anterior neck, at the site of palpable abnormality. In the right neck, at level 1, there is a corresponding 2.0 x 1.5 x 0.6 cm lymph node with a normal oval morphology and a fatty hilum. No cystic component or associated calcifications. Additional morphologically unremarkable and normal sized cervical lymph nodes are noted. Limited evaluation of the thyroid is normal.
Slightly prominent but morphologically normal appearing right level 1 lymph node. Benign etiology is favored as lymph nodes at this level may normally be prominent. Alternatively, node may be reactive in etiology.
