Lung Adenocarcinoma’s Rare Metastasis: Tongue Metastasis

When examining oral cavity tumors, the incidence of metastatic tumors is quite low. Most of these metastases occur in the mandible, with only a small portion involving soft tissues. Generally, the most common sites for metastases from lung cancer are the brain, adrenal glands, bones, and the contralateral lung, while the incidence of metastases to the tongue is reported to be approximately 0.2% to 1.6%. Patients with tongue metastases from lung cancer usually have a poor prognosis, making early diagnosis important. This case presentation aims to discuss a 62-year-old male patient with lung adenocarcinoma who presented with dysphagia and was found to have tongue metastasis. No distant metastases were detected apart from the tongue and cervical lymph node metastases. Systemic treatment was initiated for the patient diagnosed with stage 4 lung adenocarcinoma.
