“…Hepatocellular carcinoma clinically appears as a tumor mass in the oral cavity that may mimic an odontogenic tumor when it occurs as a swelling and oral squamous cell carcinoma when associated with surface ulceration. [ 11 12 13 ] Radiographic features are nonspecific which may vary from radiopaque to radiolucent lesions with ill-defined borders. [ 14 15 ] The jaw lesions may be the initial manifestation of the metastatic disease in the majority of cases thereby mimicking an odontogenic lesion leading faulty diagnosis and subsequent delay in management.…”

Malignancy is characterized by anaplasia, invasiveness, and metastasis. Primary oral squamous cell carcinoma is the most prevalent oral malignancy, but secondary malignancy from distant sites have also been reported. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common primary liver malignancy that frequently metastasizes during the course of the disease, but < 1% of cases show oral involvement. Such secondary neoplasms do not have any pathognomonic clinical or radiologic findings, and therefore they pose a diagnostic challenge. Hence, in the differential diagnosis of malignant tumors of the oral cavity, it is essential to consider the occurrence of both primary as well as metastatic tumors despite the low incidence of the latter. A rare case of HCC metastasizing to both the maxilla and mandible is presented, in which the patient succumbed to the disease as a result of the delay in diagnosis.

“…Metastatic disease in the jaws may extend into the overlying soft tissues and appear as a dental or periodontal infection. [ 12 ] However, the histologic appearance of metastatic jaw disease often is poorly differentiated, making it a challenge to determine the location of the primary lesion. Uchiyama et al .…”

Adenocarcinoma of the lung that metastasizes to the mandible is uncommon. There are only a few cases described in the English-language literature regarding metastasis to mandible from adenocarcinoma of the lung. This article shows a metastasis from adenocarcinoma of the lung affecting the mandible of a 55-year-old male patient where the metastatic lesion was detected before primary tumor. This article emphasizes the importance of detailed dentoalveolar examination and early diagnosis for finding the primary focus of metastatic lesions.

“…The radiographic features of bone metastasis are characterized as osteolytic, osteoblastic, or mixed. 15 Although most metastatic bony lesions are osteolytic, metastatic tumors from the prostate, lung, and breast are very often found to be osteoblastic. 16 Tumors originating from the gastrointestinal tract and breast often appear as mixed-type.…”

Mandibular metastasis of cholangiocarcinoma: A case report

et al. 2015

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Tumors metastasizing from distant regions to the oral and maxillofacial region are uncommon, comprising only 1%-2% of all malignancies. Cholangiocarcinoma is a malignancy that arises from cholangiocytes, which are epithelial cells that line the bile ducts. These cancers are difficult to diagnose and have a poor prognosis. In this paper, we report a rare case of mandibular metastasis of cholangiocarcinoma diagnosed at the primary site and discuss the radiographic findings observed in this case.
