The Pirogoff Triangle, named after Nikolay Ivanovich Pirogov, is an area in the human neck formed by the intermediate tendon of the digastric muscle, the posterior border of the mylohyoid muscle, and the hypoglossal nerve . The lingual artery can be found in the Pirogoff triangle underneath the fibers of the hyoglossus muscle.
