Figure 2

Imaging of lateral lingual lymph node metastasis (LLNM) in the sublingual space. Lateral LLNM (arrowhead) is revealed in the sublingual space on the right side on (a) axial T2-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) and (b) coronal T2-weighted MR images. This metastatic node is independent of the primary tongue tumor (arrow). (c) Lateral LLNM (arrowhead) is located in the proximity of the sublingual gland. The mylohyoid muscle is retracted anteriorly.
