Metastatic carcinoma of hepatic cells in the mandible
Keywords:
carcinoma, liver neoplasms, neoplasm metastasis.Abstract
The metastatic hepatic carcinoma is a complicated disease resulting in a highmorbidity and mortality. Metastases in different sub-sites of oral cavity are a
uncommon consequence of a distant spreading of disease. These metastases
account for 1 % of all malignant neoplasms of oral cavity and a few cases are
described in literature. Authors try to inform health professionals on the
epidemiological, histological and clinical trends of this pathological entity. Present
paper reports a case of hepatocellular metastasis in a female patient aged 79 who
came to Stomatology consultation of the State University of Maringá, Brazil
presenting with an injury in the bottom of the right inferior groove in the canine
region. The presence of metastasis in the mandibular region is infrequent and
suggests a reserved prognosis. In the panoramic and periapical radiographs
radiolucency was observed a region with poorly defined margins in the form of
moth-eaten. The result of biopsy demonstrated that it was a metastasis caused by
a probable primary tumor in liver. Metastasis was treated by the oncologist with
poor results. The health professionals need information on this entity to treat their
patients in a appropriate way, mainly at the light of the new epidemiological,
histological and clinical knowledge.
