“…Oral metastatic tumors are uncommon and comprise approximately 1% of all malignant oral neoplasms 1. Most lesions are in the jawbones, and only 16% are in soft tissue, such as the gingival tissue 2.…”

“…Metastatic tumors in the jawbones are more frequently reported than those in the oral mucosa (by a ratio of 2.5:1). The most common primary sources of metastatic tumors in the oral region are cancers in the breast, lung, kidney, bone or colorectum 1. We report a case of metastasis to the floor of mouth from colorectal carcinoma.…”

Colorectal cancers have potential for lymphatic and hematogenous metastases. Surgery is the definitive treatment, but the prognosis can be improved with the addition of chemotherapy, radiotherapy or both. However, the incidence of recurrence, both local and distant, remains significant. Distant metastases occur most often in the liver and lung; however, metastases to bone, adrenals, lymph nodes, brain, skin and the oral region have been reported. Metastases to the oral region are uncommon and may occur in the oral soft tissues or jaw bones. The prognosis in such patients is usually very poor. We report a case of colorectal carcinoma with metastasis to the floor of the mouth. This is probably the first reported case of metastasis to the floor of the mouth in a patient with colorectal cancer.

A 29-year-old man noted progressive enlargement of an intraoral mass over a period of several months. The patient denied pain, hoarseness, respiratory difficulty, or other symptoms related to the head and neck.On physical examination a cauliflowerlike mass, 5 mm in diameter, was noted on the ventral surface of the tongue. The mass was nontender and nonfriable. Results of the remainder of the head and neck examination were within normal limits.An excisional biopsy of the mass was performed using local anesthesia. Photomicrographs of the surgical specimen are shown in Figs 1 and 2.
