Metastases of the oral pharynx

Metastatic disease of the oral cavity and mouth (oral pharynx; also known as: oropharynx) occurs when cancer spreads from another location in the body and seeds in the tissues. The seeding can occur in glands, organs, muscles or lymph nodes of the oral cavity. It can also spread by infiltrating through tissue or through lymphatics.Dental work can limit visualization of the mouth as it distorts the imaged area, and thus the mouth is best assessed either by your doctor and/or visualized by your dentist.
