چکیده    Introduction: cervical adenopathy can be involved in various pathological processes. this study aimed to evaluate the ultrasound classification of cervical adenopathy (a-rads) to choose the appropriate approach.materials and methods: this cross-sectional study was conducted among 294 patients with cervical adenopathy at mashhad university of medical sciences during 2020-2021. the data of the long axis diameter, short axis diameter, shape, border, vascular pattern, presence of calcification and changes in cyst/necrosis, cortical echogenicity, hilum visibility, and location of involved lymph nodes were extracted. lymph nodes was classified into four normal, reactive, suspicious lymphoid disorders, and metastatic groups, based on ultrasound appearance (adenopathy-reporting and data system). diagnostic methods included follow-up, core needle biopsy (cnb), and fine needle aspiration (fna), and surgical results. after determining the final diagnosis, demographic, sonographic, and pathological data were analyzed at a significance level of p<0.05. results: of 294 patients, 185 were benign, and 109 were malignant. there were no significant differences in the location, long axis diameter, shape, cystic or necrotic changes, calcification, and margins of the lymph nodes between the benign and malignant groups. the enlarged short axis diameter, invisible hilum with isoechoic cortex, and non-hilar vascularity were significantly higher in the malignant group (p<0.001). the malignancy rate was 8.7% in reactive cases, 48.5% in lymphoid disorders, and 90% in metastatic nodes.conclusion: the results of this study shows that cervical lymph nodes can be classified based on short axis diameter, cortex and hilum echo-texture and vascular pattern into normal, reactive, suspicious lymphoid disorders, and metastatic, which have a high concordance with pathologic results.
