Abstract: | Calcification within cervical lymph nodes is relatively rare, and most commonly ascribed to benign inflammatory or infectious processes. We present a case of a calcified submandibular nodal metastasis from squamous cell carcinoma of the lip and review the current published literature on nodal calcifications in the neck. To the authors' knowledge, calcification resulting from metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck has been described only once previously. |
