A benign cervical sLN of a 40-year-old woman with nasopharyngeal carcinoma. a Axial T2-weighted MRI reveals an 8.0 × 11.0-mm-sized lymph node in the left level II a (green arrow). b Conventional high-frequency ultrasonography with B mode imaging demonstrating shift of hyper-echoic hilum, inhomogeneous internal echogenicity and regular margins. c Normal hilar vascularization is not seen in color Doppler. d Shear wave elastography (above) is displayed along with B-mode image (down) simultaneously on the same screen. The node displays relatively homogeneous blue color elasticity signal. e Ultrasound guided core needle biopsy of the targeted sLN. White triangles represent the needle. Green arrow represents the targeted sLN. f Hematoxylin and eosin staining (magnification 100×) of the core needle biopsy showed normal lymphatic tissue and no malignancy. sLN denoted small lymph node
