DescriptionTongue, Major portion of the, showing carcinoma.
From a female aged 36 years, in whom the submandibular lymph nodes were considerably enlarged.
The right margin of the oral portion of the tongue is almost wholly replaced by a deep ulcer with irregular, undermined edges and a granular-looking, necrotic floor Though ceasing some little distance from the tip, the ulceration is extending posteriorly into the pharyngeal portion of the tongue. The central portion of the dorsal surface of the tongue appears unusually smooth.
