Metastatic tumors of the oral region are comparatively rare, being only 1-2% of the overall oral malignancy spectrum.<BR>This paper presents a case with lung carcinoma which metastasized to the scalp, supraclavicular lymph nodes and mandible.<BR>A 51-year-old man with diagnosis of sqamous cell carcinoma of the lung was admitted to surgery of our hospital.<BR>Four months later he was referred to the oral surgery of the same hospital because of gingival swelling.<BR>A panoramic radiograph showed radiolucency in the area of the left mandibular premolar root tip.A biopsy specimen of the mandible indicated well-differentiated sqamous cell carcinoma and resembled histologically the one seen in the lung lesion.A histologic and clinical diagnosis of primary lung carcinoma metastatic to the mandible was made.
