Couldn't find definition of oligometastatic.

From National Cancer Institute:
"A type of metastasis in which cancer cells from the original (primary) tumor travel through the body and form a small number of new tumors (metastatic tumors) in one or two other parts of the body."

Basically if one has 1-2 metastatic sites, then it's called oligometastatic disease. Think of it as a subtype of Metastatic Disease.
