Abstract
Indicators of tumor cell infiltration were not found in any of the 30 cases. The result did not vary with the age or gender of the patient, tumor size, location, staging or grading of the tumor, or even when there were metastatic lymph nodes in the gross specimen. Hence, the role of the carotid sheath as a potential origin for nodal recurrence is questionable and its removal needs reconsideration.
