  • Title: Isolated gingival metastasis from lung carcinoma.
    Author: López-Jornet P, Garcia G, Camacho-Alonso F.
    Journal: N Y State Dent J; 2011 Jan; 77(1):27-8. PubMed ID: 21417163.
    Abstract:
    Metastases to the gingiva are uncommon. They can be a diagnostic challenge clinically because of their rarity and tendency to mimic benign lesions. We present the case of an undifferentiated small cell lung carcinoma in a 76-year-old man whose left lower gum showed a lesion similar to pyogenic granuloma. Biopsy confirmed gingival metastasis of lung cancer. We make a differential diagnosis of proliferative lesions and metastatic tumors.
