Review Case Reports[A rare form of metastasis of renal cell cancer. A case report of intra-oral soft tissue metastasis].
Metastatic lesions represent 1%-8% of all malignant tumours of the mouth and jaws, which are regarded as rare sites of metastases from different primary tumours. The vast majority of these lesions (90%) have been observed in the mandibula, and 5%-20% in the maxilla. ⋯ The primary tumour that most commonly metastasizes to the mouth and jaws seems to be carcinoma of the lung, followed by breast cancer and renal cell carcinoma. The case of a 47-year-old woman with renal cell carcinoma and an intraoral soft tissue metastatic lesion is presented.
