7.1 Tumors oftheOral Vestibule, theFloor oftheMouth, theTongue, andtheTonsils
Tumors of the oral vestibule can be detected easily with ultrasound [13]. In this region, we often see benign tumors, such as cysts of the small salivary glands of the lip. These are commonly hypoechoic and homogenous with a relative sig­nal enhancement (Figs.7.1 and 7.2). Their margins are regu­lar. In contrast, malignant tumors in this area sometimes show irregular margins (Fig.7.3).
Alveolar cysts (Fig.7.4) show the typical characteristics of cysts of other regions. These cysts in the maxillary area can be detected better by ultrasound than by other imaging methods.
Another cystic tumor that often can be seen is a ranula (Fig.7.5). A ranula is located next to the mandible, where the sublingual gland is normally seen. As with other cysts, the margin is regular, and the ranula itself is hypoechoic with a relative signal enhancement. The same pattern can be seen with other cystic lesions of the mouth oor (Fig.7.6).
In contrast to benign lesions, malignant tumors of the mouth oor often show irregular margins (Fig.7.7). With ultrasound, inltration of the tongue or other surrounding structures can be seen early in the diagnostic process [1]. Commonly, these tumors are less hypoechoic than cysts and sometimes are inhomogeneous. They are located next to the mouth oor muscles. Complications such as tumor extension toward the contralateral side of the mouth oor can be seen with ultrasound (Fig.7.8).

Tongue cancer shows a similar ultrasound nding (Figs.7.9, 7.10, and 7.11). In contrast to mouth oor cancer, tongue tumors do not necessarily contact the mouth oor muscles. Their sonographic appearance is similar to cancer of other neck regions. Because they are sometimes located in deeper regions of the neck, the use of low frequencies is advantageous. We sometimes recommend the use of an abdominal curved array to detect the whole tumor (Fig.7.11).
In contrast to the tongue and the mouth oor, the tonsillar region is more difcult to examine because ultrasound must be performed in a more or less oblique plane caudal to the jaw angle. Therefore, the examiner must be well trained to detect pathological processes (such as tumors) of the tonsil with ultra­sound. There is no reason to perform ultrasound of the tonsils in patients with tonsillitis or tonsillar abscesses; these diseases should be diagnosed clinically. Furthermore, in our experience, small abscesses cannot be excluded with ultrasound alone, so we prefer to use CT scans in unclear clinical situations.
Normally, the tonsils can be seen lateral to the tongue and behind the submandibular gland. In younger patients, the tonsils are characterized by an onion-like pattern (Fig.7.12). In older patients, they become atrophic and therefore are more difcult to detect.
Unilateral growth or hyperplasia of the tonsil is frequently seen clinically. Then, the different size can be documented with ultrasound. The normal hyperplastic tonsil (Figs.7.13 and 7.14; Video 7.1) and cancer of the tonsil (Figs. 7.15,
7.16, and 7.17; Video 7.2) or malignant lymphoma (Figs.7.18
and 7.19) are characterized by a hypoechoic pattern of the organ. The differential diagnosis can be conrmed if lymph nodes are present with patterns typical of cancer or lym­phoma. Furthermore, the extent of tumor growth especially details such as inltration of the tongue or the mouth oor (Fig. 7.17) or tumor growth along the pharynx (Fig. 7.20) can be seen well by ultrasound. In some cases, ultrasound will show tumor growth toward the large vessels of the neck (Fig.7.21). In these patients, duplex scan should be used to differentiate between the internal and external carotid artery, which is essential for the therapeutic strategy.
