Abstract

The aim of this work is to assess the capabilities of ultrasound examination as part of the diagnostic algorithm in head and neck tumours. Five clinical cases of patients are presented with masses in the head and neck area, with different diagnostic approaches used. When examining the patients, the following diagnostic methods were employed: ultrasound examination, X-ray computed tomography, magnetic resonance tomography, positron emission tomography combined with computed tomography, endoscopic examination, as well as contrast-enhanced ultrasound examination, endosonographic examination and ultrasound-controlled fine-needle puncture biopsy. The clinical cases described demonstrate the high diagnostic value of the ultrasound method. Ultrasound examination is a highly informative multiparameter examination method that can be used in patients with head and neck tumours.
