Oral Metastasis of Lung Cancer. A Challenge for the Clinician.

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

   Background:   Bone metastases are a major cause of morbidity in cancer patients. Jawbone metastasis from lung cancer is a rare condition that may occur in the late state of the disease.
   Case report:   We report the case of a 74-year-old male presenting with an oral asymptomatic swelling that had grown substantially over the last 2 months. Biopsy and histological examination revealed the presence of a metastatic lung cell adenocarcinoma.
   Discussion:   Although metastases to the oral cavity are uncommon, clinicians may play a crucial role also in the diagnosis of primary tumors.
