Summary

Occult lymph node metastasis (LNM) remains one of the most critical and challenging aspects of managing head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Defined as the presence of metastatic disease in lymph nodes that are clinically undetectable through routine imaging or physical examination, occult LNM has profound implications for treatment planning, prognosis, and overall patient management. In HNSCC, accurate detection and prediction of occult LNM are crucial as they significantly influence decisions regarding the extent of neck dissection, the need for adjuvant therapies, and the overall therapeutic strategy. Undiagnosed or underestimated LNM can result in inadequate treatment, increasing the risk of locoregional recurrence and poor survival outcomes.
