Background: Oral tongue is one of the common site for carcinoma. 22% to 39% of oral cancer develops at this site. The high incidence of cervical lymph node metastasis, occult cervical metastasis, Provide a logical basis for treatment of the neck. The aim of this is study was to find out the importance of selective neck dissection in primary T1, T2, N0 Neck Oral Tongue Carcinoma. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in the Department of Otolaryngology- Head & Neck Surgery, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Dhaka Medical College Hospital and National Institute of ENT, Dhaka. Thirty cases of primary T1, T2, N0 Neck Oral Tongue Carcinoma with inclusion criteria was enrolled as a study sample. Patients were evaluated by a complete clinical head and neck examination as well as Imaging (MRI) of the primary tumor and neck. All the data were compiled and sorted properly and the numerical data were analyzed statistically. The results were expressed as percentage and mean ± SD. Chi-square (x2) test or Fisher’s Exact test was done for comparison of data presented in categorical value and p value <0.05 was considered as the level of significance. Among the patients 23(76.7%) were T1 lesion and remaining 7(23.33%) were T2 lesion. Extended Supraomohyoid Selective Neck Dissection (SOSD) (I-IV) was done in all patients. Following histopathological examination, 8(26.67%) patients of N0 neck became positive for nodal metastasis. Results: The study showed that most commonly (50%) involved group of occult metastasis was upper deep cervical lymph node in submandibular area (level-I). Occult nodal metastasis was significantly common 87.5% among male patients than females (p=0.039) and also common 87.5% among <50 years age group (p=0.023). Neck node positive was significantly more 62.5% in T2 lesion (p=0.002) of oral tongue carcinoma. Conclusion: In this study, we found that a number of patients had been histopathologicallly detected micro-metastases in regional neck nodes in clinically N0 patients.So, Extended Supraomohyoid Selective neck dissection (I-IV) was appropriate in T1,T2, N0 Neck Oral Tongue Carcinoma.

Background: Carcinoma of oral tongue is the most common oral cancer and because of its structure and function is prone for early local and regional spread of cancer. The final outcome of a primary tongue carcinoma patient depends upon various prognostic factors like thickness of tumor, depth of invasion, size of lesion and neck node 67metastasis. Risk of metastasis and spread to neck nodes increases with increase in tumor thickness Methods: This prospective observational study was carried out in the Department of Otolayngology- Head & Neck Surgery, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Dhaka for 18 months. Thirty patients with early oral tongue carcinoma i.e.T1 & T2 as per UICC and AJC criteria were included in this study by purposive non-randomized sampling technique. Result of the study were expressed as mean, standard deviation (+SD), frequency and percentages. Unpaired Student’s t-test and Pearson’s correlation co-efficient (r) test were performed. Results: Result of the study showed the mean (+SD) thickness of the tumor was 3.62 (+1.46) mm. Minimum thickness 1.1mm and maximum thickness 7.8mm. Only 21 (70%) subjects neck node were metastasized from tongue and mean (+SD) tumor thickness of the positive neck node metastasis was 5.54 (+1.07) mm and negative neck node metastasis was 2.87 (+0.75) mm. This indicated a significant difference between the groups. Pearson’s correlation co-efficient r (+0.981) which indicated tumor thickness was positively correlated with neck node metastasis. Conclusion: Tumor thickness of the early oral carcinoma positively correlated with neck node metastasis. Correlation between thickness and metastatic lymph node can help planning the treatment regimen and indicate the disease prognosis. Bangladesh J Otorhinolaryngol; April 2021; 27(1): 25-35
