A 41-year-old male was diagnosed with tongue cancer. Preoperative imaging revealed no metastatic lymph nodes. Intraoperative sonography detected a minute hypoechoic lesion in the sublingual space. A pea-sized mass was found during dissection of that space and histopathology revealed a metastatic lymph node. The lingual lymph node should routinely be evaluated sonographically prior to surgical resection of tongue cancer.
一名41岁男性被诊断为舌癌。术前影像学检查未发现转移性淋巴结。术中超声检查发现舌下间隙有一个微小的低回声病变。在该间隙解剖过程中发现一个豌豆大小的肿块，组织病理学检查显示为转移性淋巴结。在舌癌手术切除前，应常规对舌淋巴结进行超声评估。
