Abstract

Lingual node metastasis is seen most commonly in carcinoma of tongue and carcinoma floor of mouth.

Our case report is an elderly male patient with Squamous cell carcinoma of alveolus. Management included hemi-mandibulectomy because of the extension. Metastatic lingual node was found during the surgery as it is rare finding so is this case report presented to reappraise the literature.
