Primary malignant tumors of the mouth and jaws usually do not present a diagnostic challenge to oral surgeons or otolaryngologists. However, recognition of metastatic tumors in the mouth and jaws is much more difficult. A case is presented of metastatic carcinoma from the lung to the soft tissue of the oral cavity. Histopathology of the lesions in the lung and oral cavity as well as the chest x-ray and the Panorex x-ray are presented. The patient refused palliative treatment, became malnourished, and died. A review of the pertinent literature is also presented.
口腔颌面部原发性恶性肿瘤通常不会给口腔外科医生或耳鼻喉科医生带来诊断难题。然而，识别口腔颌面部的转移性肿瘤则困难得多。本文报告一例从肺部转移至口腔软组织的癌。文中展示了肺部和口腔病损的组织病理学检查结果以及胸部X光片和全景X光片。患者拒绝姑息治疗，出现营养不良并最终死亡。本文还对相关文献进行了综述。
