[Selected problems in the evolution of scientific examination of the lymphatic system of the larynx and the surrounding region presented for clinical purposes].

The most important results of the morphological research of the lymphatic system of the larynx with surrounding tissues were presented. Based on section specimens of larynx the topography of the lymphatic system was described. We also described changes in the lymphatic system after radiation and after manifestation of squamous cell carcinoma in this region. We concluded that the main causes of our clinical adversities in treatment of larynx cancer were lymphatic stasis, cancer embolism of small nodes between mucosa and deep lymph nodes of the neck. We also studied over the methods of intravital examinations of the neck's lymphatic system.
