B & C. Schematic illustrations demonstrate the ipsilateral (B) and contralateral (C) nodal groups most likely at risk for developing nodal metastases from pyriform sinus carcinoma. On the ipsilateral side, Groups II and III are at greatest risk for developing nodal metastases. There is less than a 15% likelihood of metastases in the contralateral neck.
