The site and nature of the primary tumour in these cases, together with 154 cases reported elsewhere, are summarized, and the frequency of lymphangitis carcinomatosa with various primary tumours is noted. 4. The possible routes of spread of neoplastic cells to the lungs and the cause of the characteristic breathlessness are discussed.
