Lymphangitis carcinomatosa is a rare form of pulmonary metastasis. According to the literature only one case of oral cancer has previously been reported as the primary site. The diagnosis can be difficult to reach because the symptoms, as in this case, are often suggestive of heart failure or pneumonia.
癌性淋巴管炎是一种罕见的肺转移形式。根据文献记载，此前仅有一例以口腔癌作为原发部位的病例报道。由于症状，如此病例中的症状，常常提示心力衰竭或肺炎，所以诊断可能很难得出。
