Core Tip	Lingual lymph nodes comprise 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. This group of lymph nodes may represent a site of tongue cancer metastasis or locoregional recurrence. These nodes are currently not included in the diagnostic and treatment protocols for oral tongue cancer. Reported rate of anatomic existence as well as metastatic lingual nodes involvement incidence may in no instance be considered low. As these lesions were shown to significantly influence survival prognosis special efforts for their detection must be carried out.
