Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
Background: The tongue is the centre piece of the oral cavity and the oro pharynx. It enables taste of food and plays a critical role in formation of food bolus and deglutition. Methods: In the prospective study, 40 patients (24 males, 16 females), aged 25 to 77 years (mean 53.3) .who referred to the surgery department, underwent surgery for a primary SCC of the oral cavity. These patients were examined with CT and MRI before surgery. Results: The minimum age of the patients was 27 years; maximum age 76 years and the mean age was 53.3 years. Males constituted 60% of the patients and the rest were females. The frequency of tumors in the cheek was 15% and 12% in the floor of mouth, The number of lymph nodes detected by CT scan and MRI was (n=16). Conclusion: The CT was a trend towards a better detection rather than MRI in detection of muscle infiltration. Beside MRI in the detection of bone invasion is a more sensitive tool and would be preferred to CT.
