“…From a geographical point of view, the cases included in the study are based in the first place on European populations such as the Italian, Croatian or French with 10 case reports ( 2 , 5 , 7 , 8 , 12 , 14 , 17 , 20 , 24 ) followed by the United States (USA) with 2 cases ( 15 , 20 ) and finally countries such as Korea ( 21 ), Israel ( 4 ), India ( 17 ) and Brazil ( 18 ) of which only a single clinical case or case series has been included.…”

“…Tumor metastases in the oral cavity are uncommon, occurring in 1-3% of cases ( 1 , 22 ). They usually appear as lesions in hard tissues of the maxilla and mandible, being the mandible the most frequent location ( 3 , 8 , 15 , 21 ). They can be lesions that originate in soft tissues and end up infiltrating bone or lesions that initially appear in hard tissues and end up resulting on soft tissues of the oral cavity ( 5 , 15 , 17 , 19 ).…”

Background Metastases in the oral cavity are rare and account for only 1 to 3% of all malignant lesions in this area. The primary location from which most metastases have been described in the oral cavity in adult patients include lungs, breasts, kidneys and colon. Material and Methods A systematic search of the literature was carried out following the PRISMA statement in PubMed database. Clinical trials and case series published in the last 10 years [2010-2020] were eligible to be selected. The headings and keywords used in the searches were “cancer” AND “oral metastases”, “incidence” AND “oral metastases”, “oral metastases” AND “jaw bone”, “oral metastases” AND “soft tissue”. Results For the study of the incidence of metastases in the oral cavity, 9 reports of clinical trials and 7 retrospective studies of case series have been included in this article. The primary locations from which more metastases have been described in the oral cavity are lungs (30.6% or 183 cases), breasts (22.2% or 133 cases), liver (15.5% or 93 cases), prostate (9 % or 54 cases), thyroid glands (8.1% or 49 cases), kidneys (7.3% or 44 cases), skin (2.3% or 14 cases), soft tissues (2% or 12 cases), colon (2% or 12 cases) and gastrointestinal (0.6% or 4 cases). These metastases have a predilection for hard tissues. The clinical presentation of these lesions varies from painless granulomatous lesions to lytic areas in the jaws. Conclusions Although metastases in the oral cavity is an uncommon pathology, early diagnosis is needed so that in the event that it is the first manifestation, it allows the primary tumor to be diagnosed as soon as possible. Key words: Cancer, oral metastases, incidence, jaw bone, soft tissue.

“…Mucosal melanoma (synonyms: oral melanoma, oral mucosal melanoma, and oral malignant melanoma) of the head and neck is a very rare and aggressive malignancy with a very poor prognosis (Breik et al, 2016;Ascierto et al, 2017) [1,2]. In the maxillofacial area the melanoma can be finded in mandible (Cervenka et al, 2017), parotid glands (Pain et al, 1986;, nasal mucosa and maxillary sinuses (Maldonado-Mendoza et al, Breik et al, 2016;Shin and Kim, 2017), etc. [1,[3][4][5][6][7].…”
