Abstract
Five cases of miliary lung metastasis among 630 patients with bronchogenic carcinoma were investigated. Bone metastases from the bronchogenic carcinoma were observed in 246 (39 percent) of these 630 patients, and the five were all patients in this latter group. These results suggest that bronchogenic carcinoma may produce miliary lung metastasis through its bone metastasis.
