目前关于甲状腺乳头状癌中胸锁乳突肌-胸骨舌骨肌间淋巴结(the lymph node between sternocleidomastoid and sternohyoid muscle,LNSS)转移的相关研究较少。文献报道,LNSS在初治甲状腺乳头状癌(papillary thyroid cancer,PTC)中的转移率为7.4%~23.5%,但因其解剖位置隐蔽而易在颈淋巴结清扫中被忽视。LNSS认知的加深对于术中充分暴露相关区域并予以彻底清扫具有十分重要的临床意义,现将针对LNSS概念的提出及目前临床研究现状进行总结,指出PTC患者颈部淋巴结处理中LNSS的重要性及必要性。
Abstract
There have recently been few reports on the significance of the lymph node metastasis between sternocleidomastoid and sternohyoid muscle (LNSS). As reported
the incidence of LNSS metastasis is 7.4%-23.5%. Because of its anatomical location
it is easy to overlook LNSS in the cervical lymph node dissection. Deepening of LNSS cognition is of great clinical significance for the full exposure of relevant areas and the thorough removal of the lymph nodes during surgery. This article introduces the concept of LNSS and reviews the current research about it.
