The postglandular submandibular node was not evident in the drainage route.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions.<\/jats:title><jats:p>Although it carries a low incidence, because of the direct lymphatic route or pathway between the oral region and preglandular submandibular node, the pathologically positive supraomohyoid node sometimes seems to be found even in elective neck dissection. However, we speculate that sentinel node investigation would reveal the much more critical role of the jugulodigastric node not only as the actual sentinel node but also as the common terminal node along the various drainage routes from the oral region. \u00a9 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
