title: [Metastases of lung carcinoma to the tongue].
abstract: Metastatic tumors in soft tissues of oral cavity are uncommon, but tongue metastasis are quite infrequent. If it occurs, the invasion is indicative of a drop in the whole organism defenses. We describe two cases of lung carcinoma spreaded to the tongue and the post-mortem examinations. Before oral manifestations we confirm the development of many metastases located in various organs.
