SUBMANDIBULAR / SUBLINGUAL

GLAND TUMOUR

In addition to the size, and

consistency of tumour, one

must also look for evidence of

invasion to the floor of mouth

and overlying skin; lingual

and/or hypoglossal nerve

involvement; and any cervical

lymph node enlargement. All

of which may be suggestive of

malignant salivary gland

tumour.
