title: A radiologic study of pulmonary metastases originating from oral and maxillofacial tumors.
abstract: A retrospective clinical and radiologic study was carried out on 103 consecutive cases of oral and maxillofacial malignant conditions in which pulmonary metastasis occurred. The most frequent primary site was the palate. The neoplasm most commonly involved was the adenoid cystic carcinoma. Pulmonary metastases were classified into five types: solitary, multiple nodular, multiple "massy," diffuse, and miliary.
