“…Затем на протяжении более полутора десятилетий данная проблема была предметом обсуждения исключительно в японоязычных научных журналах. Приводились одиночные описания метастатических очагов в тканях дна полости рта у пациентов с опухолями боковой поверхности ротового отдела языка, при этом в 1 случае обнаружение подозрительных ЯЛУ имело место интраоперационно при дополнительной пальпации вблизи рожка подъязычной кости, в 2 другихво время предоперационного лучевого исследования [7][8][9]. Первая англоязычная публикация, в которой описывалось метастатическое поражение ЯЛУ при раке языка, появилась в 2002 г.…”

A review of accumulated international clinical experience and prognostic significance calculations of metastatic involvement of the lingual lymph nodes is given. Anatomical terminology of lingual lymph nodes and its contradictive aspects are discussed. It is shown that metastatic lesions of the lingual lymph nodes posses high prognostic value, therein a topographic anatomic classification of the lingual lymph nodes is needed to increase the efficiency of diagnosis and augmenting of the oncologic treatment results. This classification should be unified to avoid misunderstanding between researchers.

“…The first three observations of tongue SCC with metastasis to the lateral and median LLN were described by Ozeki et al[ 5 ]. This was followed by case reports of LLN involvement detected in different clinical settings: As loco-regional recurrence[ 28 ], during surgery[ 29 ], and on preoperative CT and MRI[ 30 , 31 ]. Only two out of the six subjects with LLN lesions had survived recurrent-free during the stated follow-up period.…”

“…This necessitates the performance of various preoperative imaging modes with consequent meticulous data analysis. CT and MRI were reported to be effective for LLN metastasis visualization in cN+ staged cases[ 30 , 31 , 37 , 39 ]. Several researchers outlined the benefits of combining preoperative contrast-enhanced CT and MRI (central necrosis and/or extracapsular spread are usual findings in LLN metastasis), and postoperative ultrasound monitoring (every month follow-up)[ 40 , 41 ].…”

Lingual lymph nodes are an inconstant group of in-transit nodes, which are located on the route of lymph drainage from the tongue mucosa to the regional nodes in neck levels I and II. There is growing academic data on the metastatic spread of oral cancer, particularly regarding the spreading of oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma to lingual nodes. These nodes are not currently included in diagnostic and treatment protocols for oral tongue cancer. Combined information on surgical anatomy, clinical observations, means of detection, and prognostic value is presented. Anatomically obtained incidence of lingual nodes ranges from 8.6% to 30.2%. Incidence of lingual lymph node metastasis ranges from 1.3% to 17.1%. It is clear that lymph nodes that bear intervening tissues from the floor of the mouth should be removed to improve loco-regional control. Extended resection volume, which is required for the surgical treatment of lingual node metastasis, cannot be implied to every tongue cancer patient. As these lesions significantly influence prognosis, special efforts of their detection must be made. Reasonably, every tongue cancer patient must be investigated for the existence of lingual lymph node metastasis. Lymphographic tracing methods, which are currently implied for sentinel lymph node biopsies, may improve the detection of lingual lymph nodes.

Purpose:Metastatic involvement of the lingual lymph nodes (LLNs) in oral cavity squamous cell cancer has recently been proven to signi cantly reduce locoregional control and survival. Despite recent re nements in the detection of these lesions, the understanding of the LLN topographic anatomy among clinicians is limited. A proposition of a topographic division on LLN based on a comprehensive literature search and synthesis may be helpful in this condition.Methods:A literature search and election based on contemporary PRISMA guidelines was performed for sources on LLN anatomy with special attention on their subdivision.Results:Four topographic LLN subgroups were de ned: median -between genioglossal and geniohyoid muscles; intermediate para-hyoid -medial to the hyoglossal muscle, at the greater cornu of the hyoid bone; lateral sublingual (paraglandular) LLNs -at the sublingual salivary gland; lateral submandibular (paraglandular) LLNs -lateral to the hyoglossal muscle, at the deep surface of the submandibular salivary gland. Conclusion:The development and implementation of a uni ed anatomical topographic classi cation of LLN subgroups may be among the important conditions for improving the detection and treatment of LLN lesions.
