Between December and september 2018 123 patients with head and neck tumors underwent ultrasound examination. The median age of the patients was 57 years (range 19-76 years). Metastatic lymph nodes were suspected in all patients. A fine needle aspiration biopsy was performed prior to treatment. Aplio 500 (Toshiba, Japan) ultrasound device was used. According to findings of cytological examination, all patients were divided into 2 groups. Group I consisted of 58 patients with cytologically confirmed metastatic lymph nodes. Group II comprised 65 patients with lymphoid reticular hyperplasia. The values of Young's modulus for metastatic lymph nodes were: median - 134.2 kPa, 2.5-97.5 percentiles - 7.3-181.7 kPa. The corresponding values for hyperplastic lymph nodes were: 20.1 kPa, 6.9-138.3 kPa. Thus, significant differences in the values of Young's modulus between metastatic and hyperplastic lymph nodes were detected in patients with head and neck cancer (p
