“…The differential diagnosis includes hemangioma, pyogenic granuloma, giant-cell granuloma, peripheral fibromas, adenoid squamous cell carcinoma and polymorphous low-grade adenocarcinoma that affects the minor salivary glands of the mouth. [1,5] The treatment regimen includes local resection, palliative radiotherapy, chemotherapy, or supportive care only to improve the quality of life. In most cases of the oral metastasis, the prognosis is shown to be grave with an average survival period of about 7 months.…”

“…Epithelial ovarian cancer is the most lethal gynecologic malignancy and the fifth most common cause of cancer-related death in women. [5] The estimated annual incidence of this disease worldwide is just over 200,000 individuals, with approximately 125,000 deaths. [6] The clinical presentation of the metastatic lesions differs between the various sites in the oral region.…”

The metastasis of malignant tumors within the oral cavity always remains a rare clinical entity. Most metastatic tumors have the propensity for involving the mandible rather than the other oral soft tissues structures. Within, we describe an unusual case of ovarian malignancy that metastasized to the mandibular and involved the mandibular gingiva as an initial manifestation, and as per our best knowledge this is the second reported case until now. There is limited erudition regarding ovarian cancer metastatic and involving the oral cavity.

"Numb chin syndrome" (NCS) refers to new-onset numbness of the lower lip and chin within the distribution of the mental or inferior alveolar nerves. While this focal numbness may be downplayed or even overlooked by patients and clinicians, in the right clinical scenario this may be the presenting symptom of an underlying malignancy. In the absence of any obvious, temporally related dental cause, there are certain conditions that clinicians should consider including orofacial and systemic malignancies as well as several inflammatory disorders. Thorough diagnostic evaluation should always be performed when no clear cause is evident. This paper will discuss the differential, recommended evaluations, and the prognosis, for a patient presenting with NCS.

Uterine cervix cancer is the second most common female cancer and the third most common cause of female cancer mortality. The disease spreads into the surrounding tissues by direct infiltration, whereas, spread by hematogenous dissemination is relatively unusual and the involvement of oral and maxillofacial region is extremely rare in gynecological cancer. A 72-year-old Chinese woman was referred to our dental clinic with a 4-month history of a painful and gradually expanding swelling in oral cavity associated with a severe limitation of mouth opening. The submucosa was fibro-elastic with normal mucosal covering on the left side of the soft palate that extended up to the palatoglossal arch, measuring 2.5 cm in maximum diameter. Fine needle aspiration cytology was performed on the nodule and the cytological diagnosis was consistent with undifferentiated carcinoma. An incisional biopsy was performed and the diagnosis of undifferentiated carcinoma of primary unspecified location was made. The patient’s son reported that his mother had been experiencing the return of her “menstrual cycle” so we referred her to the gynecologist who detected a lesion in the cervix uteri, bigger than the one in the oral cavity. Both lesions had the same histological and immunohistochemical profile prompting us to report this case as carcinoma of the cervix uteri that metastasized to the oral cavity. Unfortunately, the patient died 24 months after the initial diagnosis of the oral metastasis. The patient received sessions of radiotherapy exclusively in both lesions. The review of literature showed that oral metastasis from uterine cervix carcinoma is rare, indicating poor prognosis and that the correlation of clinical medical history, laboratory, imagenological, cytological, histopathological and immunohistochemical exams are essential for achievement of the precise diagnosis
