Patients with primary carcinoma of the base of the tongue or direct invasion from contiguous areas were examined clinically and with ultrasound, and in some cases with computed tomography (CT), xerography, and polytomography. In all cases, multiple biopsy specimens were obtained. Utrasonography was better than the other imaging methods in delineating disease extent in the tongue itself, while CT and tomography were more useful in evaluating the retropharyngeal and lateral pharyngeal regions. It is suggested that ultrasound be used in the initial evaluation of such patients.
对患有舌根部原发性癌或来自相邻区域直接侵犯的患者进行了临床检查、超声检查，部分病例还进行了计算机断层扫描（CT）、干板X线照相术和体层摄影术检查。所有病例均获取了多个活检标本。在描绘舌部本身的疾病范围方面，超声检查比其他成像方法更好，而CT和体层摄影术在评估咽后和咽旁区域方面更有用。建议对这类患者进行初步评估时使用超声检查。
