[Variants of the routes of lymph drainage from the larynx and tongue].
Lymphatics of larynx and tongue were studied in 44 prepared specimens obtained from cadavers of people of both sexes (aged from 17 to 91) using interstitial injections of Herot masses into mucosa and preparation. Lymphatics of vestibule of the larynx appear to emerge along with superior laryngeal artery in 66%, in 29% along with lingual artery and along with pharyngeal branches of thyrocervical axis in 4.5%; lymphatics of infraglotic cavity in 2.3% emerge through thyrohyoid membrane. Lymphatics of larynx and tongue supply superior internal jugular node located superior to the site of confluence of facial vein and internal jugular vein; prelaryngeal node located on the plate of thyroid cartilage superior to the superior thyroid artery; the node of medium group of the internal jugular chain in the site of confluence of medium thyroid vein and internal jugular vein.
