“…To better understand the association between oral cavity metastases and colon cancer, 12 cases of oral cavity metastases of colon cancer, including the present case, were reviewed [6,7,[10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]; Table I]. It was observed that mandibular metastases from colon cancer regularly occurred the sixth and seventh decades of life.…”

Metastasis is the primary cause of death among patients with colon cancer. However, the number of available studies regarding oral cavity metastases from colon cancer is currently limited. We herein report an unusual case of a 60-year-old male patient who developed an oral cavity metastasis from colon cancer. A total of 12 clinical case studies reporting colon cancer metastases to the mandibular gingival region were also reviewed, with the aim to elucidate the clinical and pathological characteristics of this disease entity in order to improve clinical diagnosis and treatment. It was demonstrated that patients with oral cavity metastases from colon cancer were predominantly in the sixth or seventh decades of life. The mandible was the main site of metastatic tumors to the oral cavity, while the occurrence of gingival metastases was comparatively rare. Moreover, the diagnoses of an oral metastatic tumor and primary colon cancer were often synchronous and were frequently accompanied with metastases to other organs. Several key aspects were suggested that should be accounted for when diagnosing colon cancer patients, including focusing attention to oral symptoms when examining cancer patients, utilizing a multidisciplinary approach for differential diagnosis and utilizing postoperative pathological examination to accurately diagnose the type of tumor and optimize the efficacy of treatment.

“…Metastatic oral tumors are rare, contributing to ~1% of all oral tumors (7). Theoretically, all types of tumors may metastasize to the oral cavity, the most common primary organs being the lungs in men and the breast in women.…”

“…The numb lower lip periodically presents as a manifestation, and even presenting symptom, of malignant disease. Review of the recent literature reveals that the causative tumours are diverse: mandibular central mucoepidermoid carcinoma, leukaemia, breast cancer, colorectal cancer, osteosarcoma, as well as two lymphomas which have presented to the author during 20 years of clinical practice. Lung adenocarcinoma is the most common cell type in females (smokers and non‐smokers).…”

We describe a case of a 70-year-old man presenting with a mandibular metastasis as the first sign of a mucinous adenocarcinoma of the rectum. After 6 months of a protracted toothache, the patient presented with a palpable mandibular mass and trismus, precluding adequate clinical evaluation. A CT scan was performed, and imaging findings suggested an aggressive primary jawbone tumour, most likely an osteosarcoma. However, biopsy and further patient's management proved to be a metastasis. Metastasis to the oral cavity account for only 1%-3% of all malignant oral tumours, and the mandible is the most frequent site. Clinical presentation can be quite variable, and most often a primary malignancy is already known. Jawbone metastases are a sign of disseminated malignant neoplasms, with poor prognosis and usually an indication for palliative therapy.
