Features that favor a malignant lymph node include: larger in size, more rounded in shape, eccentric cortical thickening, irregular or nodular borders, loss of the echogenic hilum, increased echogenicity relative to adjacent muscle and peripheral blood flow. Lymph nodes containing calcifications or areas of cystic change are almost always malignant. Sonographer's Impression: Sonographer's Name, Date & Time:
