The scarce data in the literature show that the presence of lymph node metastases (LNMs) negatively impacts the prognosis. Furthermore, there is a lack of information about the patterns and extension of LNMs in MiSGC. Therefore, it is necessary to identify the clinical and pathological features associated with LNMs in MiSGC to guide the cervical dissection intent of those patients. This study's endpoints were the identification of clinicopathological features associated with LNMs, identification of spread patterns of clinical and occult LNMs, and the impact of LNMs on the patient's outcome.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Materials and Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This single\u2010center retrospective cohort study analyzed data from 437 patients with MiSGC of the oral cavity and oropharynx treated at the Instituto Nacional de C\u00e2ncer (INCA), the Brazilian National Cancer Institute.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>LNMs were observed in 59 patients (13.5%).

Adenocarcinoma histotype, floor of the mouth and base of the tongue subsites, late\u2010stage tumor, and lymphovascular invasion were associated with LNMs. LNMs were associated with worse overall and disease\u2010specific survival rates.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>There are LNMs spread specific to the site of the MiSGC, with an impact on the patient's prognosis.
